T-Pot 24.04.0 released 🎉

[t3chn0m4g3]

Release Notes / Changelog

T-Pot 24.04.0 marks probably the largest change in the history of the project. While most of the changes have been made to the underlying platform some changes will be standing out in particular - a T-Pot ISO image will no longer be provided with the benefit that T-Pot will now run on multiple Linux distributions (Alma Linux, Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse, Raspbian, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu), Raspberry Pi (optimized) and macOS / Windows (limited).

New Features

• Distributed Installation is now using NGINX reverse proxy instead of SSH to transmit HIVE_SENSOR logs to HIVE
• deploy.sh, will make the deployment of sensor much easier and will automatically take care of the configuration. You only have to install the T-Pot sensor.
• T-Pot Init is the foundation for running T-Pot on multiple Linux distributions and will also ensure to restart containers with failed healthchecks using autoheal
• T-Pot Installer is now mostly Ansible based providing a universal playbook for the most common Linux distributions
• T-Pot Uninstaller allows to uninstall T-Pot, while not recommended for general usage, this comes in handy for testing purposes
• T-Pot Customizer (compose/customizer.py) is here to assist you in the creation of a customized docker-compose.yml
• T-Pot Landing Page has been redesigned and simplified
• Kibana Dashboards, Objects fully refreshed in favor of Lens based objects
• Wordpot is added as new addition to the available honeypots within T-Pot and will run on tcp/8080 by default.
• Raspberry Pi is now supported using a dedicated mobile.yml (why this is called mobile will be revealed soon!)
• GeoIP Attack Map is now aware of connects / disconnects and thus eliminating required reloads
• Docker, where possible, will now be installed directly from the Docker repositories to avoid any incompatibilities
• .env now provides a single configuration file for the T-Pot related settings
• genuser.sh can now be used to add new users to the T-Pot Landing Page as part of the T-Pot configuration file (.env)

Updates

• Honeypots and tools were updated to their latest pushed code and / or releases
• Where possible Docker Images will now use Alpine 3.19
• Updates will be provided continuously through Docker Images updates

Breaking Changes

• There is no option to migrate a previous installation to T-Pot 24.04.0, you can try to transfer the old data folder to the new T-Pot installation, but a working environment depends on too many other factors outside of our control and a new installation is simply faster.
• Most of the support scripts were moved into the T-Pot Init image and are no longer available directly on the host.
• Cockpit is no longer available as part of T-Pot itself. However, where supported, you can simply install the cockpit package.

Hi, I'm having a problem installing T-Pot and I haven't been able to fix it even though I've tried installing it several times. I always get the same error. How can I fix it?

[t3chn0m4g3]

You are trying to install a previous version of T-Pot. Please follow the instructions of the Readme for T-Pot 24.04.

How to prevent the server from restarting everyday? Can't find it in the crontab anymore!

[t3chn0m4g3]

Use sudo crontab -e for editing the crontab and sudo crontab -l for viewing it.

[kanowah]

I know these steps, but I can't find the line that need to be removed to prevent daily reboot in the newest version.

[t3chn0m4g3]

Here is an example.

I have been trying up for so long to install tpot 24.04.0 (latest) on Debian 12 . i am having some errors , i tried ubuntu server also .. attached screen shot is for reference

Kindly look into this grievance. Secondly it would be better to make iso for this version , as like in 22.04 verrsion

[ghenry]

You need to install ansible-playbook like the error indicates 😎

[ShoaibTalib]
