T-Pot, from Deutsche Telekom Security, is a deployable multi-honeypot
platform rather than a pentest toolkit: it’s built to attract and log
real-world attacker activity across dozens of honeypot services at
once, correlating everything through a unified Elastic Stack interface
for research and threat-intelligence purposes.
Use it only on infrastructure you own or are explicitly authorized to
expose — see the disclaimer.
Getting started
T-Pot installs onto a dedicated Debian host (bare metal or VM,
amd64/arm64) via the official installer script — it needs real
public IP exposure to attract traffic, so it's typically run
standalone or as a distributed sensor feeding a central "Hive." Once
installed, it runs 20+ dockerized honeypots side by side (Cowrie,
Dionaea, Honeytrap, and newer LLM-based ones like Beelzebub and
Galah), all fronted by Elastic Stack dashboards and a live animated
attack map.

These toggles are a first-party enhancement layered on top of markup we build to follow WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidance — they are not a substitute for accessible design, and we have not undergone a formal third-party compliance audit, so we don't claim full conformance. If you hit a real accessibility barrier anywhere on this site, please open an issue — we'd rather hear about it than have this panel stand in for fixing it.
