## What it is
Conpot is a low-interaction ICS/SCADA honeypot written in Python that emulates industrial control system protocols and devices. It collects intelligence about the motives and methods of adversaries targeting industrial control systems.

## Use cases
- deploy a fake SCADA system to detect and study attackers
- collect threat intelligence on ICS-targeting adversaries
- simulate industrial protocols like Modbus or S7 in a sandbox
- research attacker behavior against industrial control systems
- add ICS deception sensors to a security monitoring network

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made, extensible ICS/SCADA honeypot
- you want to gather intelligence on attackers probing industrial protocols
- you run a research or threat-intelligence network and need ICS deception sensors

## When to avoid
- you need a high-interaction honeypot with real industrial hardware
- you need production SCADA functionality rather than deception
- you require a non-GPL license for redistribution

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: security, monitoring, logging
- domain: security, self-hosted
- platform: python, self-hosted
- tags: honeypot, scada, ics, threat-intelligence, deception, industrial-control-systems, docker, linux
