Show HN: Knock-Knock v2 – Visualizing bot attacks in multi-protocol Technicolor

Category: security

Tags: honeypot, security, visualization

Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 5)

Knock-Knock is a live honeypot dashboard that visualizes real-time bot attacks across multiple protocols like SSH, Telnet, and FTP. It turns automated brute-force attempts into an engaging, colorful display of attack patterns and credential usage. The project offers a novel way to observe internet-wide bot activity but lacks detailed technical documentation and appears more as a demo than a production tool.

Target audience: security researchers, devops, network engineers
