macOS

TCP ports

Open your Terminal and enter the following command:

nc -v ip-of-your-honeypot port

Replace ip-of-your-honeypot with the IP address of your Honeypot. Replace port with the port you would like to test.

You should receive a message like Connection to ip-of-your-honeypot port port [tcp/protocol] succeeded!

UDP ports

Open your Terminal and enter the following command:

nc -vu ip-of-your-honeypot port

Replace ip-of-your-honeypot with the IP address of your Honeypot. Replace port with the port you would like to test.

You should receive a message like Connection to ip-of-your-honeypot port port [udp/protocol] succeeded!

Note: this doesn't confirm the UDP port is open! Check your dashboard for a detection.

Windows

TCP ports

Open Command Prompt and enter the following command:

telnet ip-of-your-honeypot port

Replace ip-of-your-honeypot with the IP address of your Honeypot. Replace port with the port you would like to test.

You should receive a message like Connected to ip-of-your-honeypot.

Other

An easy test is to open port 80/TCP in your Honeypot. After you opened this Port, go to the IP of your Honeypot in your browser. You should receive a detection now. This won't work if you already have our HTTP sensor running on port 80. In that case, the HTTP sensor will be triggered.
