I built a very simplistic honeypot using an esp8266 microcontroller that I programmmed in Micropython. The esp8266 creates a telnet server, and must be port forwarded in order to be accessed by others. When a hacker logs into the server, they get a fake terminal interface, and they have some commands available to them (I tried to make it look like an ancient account processsing terminal from a bank). The original inspiration for this came from the Arduino honeypot found on reddit. This is my first reasonably-sized project, so any suggestions and edits are welcome. Link to the repo here
