Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
To run and deploy the Honeypot AMI, we recommend choosing to deploy this into a VPC where a majority of your internet facing traffic comes from or a network you have identified as being critical and vulnerable. This will enable you to catch bad actors and attackers coming into your networks and give you the information to allow you to block and protect yourself from these types of attacks.
To SSH into the instance, you will need to open port 52222 on the security group to a CIDR range of your choosing and associate a key-pair at launch. You will then be able to ssh in using the ubuntu user as follows:
ssh -i <key_pair.pem> -p 52222 ubuntu@<ip_addresss_of_instance>
If you would like to setup Rsyslog forwarding of logs, please include the following in your instance UserData:
#!/bin/bash RSYSLOG_ADDRESS=34.241.180.139 RSYSLOG_PORT=50000 sed -i 's/<RSYSLOGADDRESS>/'"${RSYSLOG_ADDRESS}"'/g' /etc/rsyslog.conf sed -i 's/<RSYSLOGPORT>/'"${RSYSLOG_PORT}"'/g' /etc/rsyslog.conf sleep 60 sudo systemctl enable rsyslog sudo systemctl restart rsyslog
