+SSH-Honeypot
+==============
+
+This tool is a simple SSH server in Python which logs all username/password combinations into a logfile.
+
+#Requirements
+
+* ssh-keygen
+* python (2.7 or 3.0)
+* python-setuptools
+* (iptables)
+
+#Installation
+
+* You need to install the ```paramiko``` module. (e.g. ```sudo easy_install paramiko```)
+* Clone the repository. ```git clone https://github.com/internetwache/SSH-Honeypot.git``` and switch into the directory ```cd SSH-Honeypot```
+* Generate the keypair: ```ssh-keygen -t rsa -f server.key```
+
+#Configuration
+
+* To change the ssh port, edit ```SSH_PORT = 2222```
+* To change the logfile name, edit ```LOGFILE = 'logins.txt'```
+
+You should use iptables to redirect the SSH traffic from port 22 to 2222 instead of running the script with root privileges. 
+
+```/sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 22 -j REDIRECT --to-port 2222```
