Expanding the trap: MongoDB support is coming to @ThinkstCanary OpenCanary! 🛡️
I’ve always been a fan of Thinkst OpenCanary for its simplicity and effectiveness. However, I noticed a gap: as MongoDB remains one of the most targeted NoSQL databases by attackers (especially with the recent CVE)), we needed a dedicated module to catch those specific "low and slow" probes.
I’m excited to share that I’ve officially submitted a Pull Request to add a MongoDB honeypot module to the OpenCanary ecosystem!
What this means:
• Realistic Decoys: Mimics a MongoDB instance to lure in attackers looking for data leaks.
• Granular Logging: Captures connection attempts and query patterns.
• Better Coverage: Extends your internal deception mesh to cover NoSQL environments.

Huge thanks to the Thinkst team for maintaining such a vital open-source project. Feedback and testers are welcome!
