To run these tests you will need a SSH client. If you use OS X you can just use your Terminal. If you use Windows 10 and are up to date, you can use Command Prompt. If not, you can download a SSH client like PuTTY.
Connecting to SSH
Run the following command to connect to the SSH sensor on your honepot:
ssh username@ip-of-your-honeypot -p 22
Replace username with the username you have configured in the SSH sensor. Replace ip-of-your-honeypot with the IP address of you Honeypot. If you have changed the port of the SSH sensor, replace 22 with the configured port.
Run commands
When connected it's possible to run commands like on a normal Linux server. We have listed a few commands for example:
date
cd /
whoami
ls -al
nano file
The SSH sensor will respond like you will expect from a normal Linux server. You can actually use nano or try and download a file in the SSH sensor.
