Description
NGINX honeypot with lots of "honey" for bad bots. A map of bot-bait request URIs (phpMyAdmin probes, .env grabs, exploit paths) makes NGINX return 410 Gone, cutting server load and log noise. The package is config-only and needs nothing but nginx. Banning the offending IP is optional and opt-in: a free fcgiwrap + ipset path, and a Pro path that bans from one directive via nginx-module-nftset-access. Both are documented in the README.
Built for SUSE Linux Enterprise.
