## What it is
T-Pot is an all-in-one, optionally distributed honeypot platform that bundles 20+ honeypots with the Elastic Stack for visualization, live attack maps, and security tooling. It runs as Docker containers on multiarch (amd64/arm64) Linux systems and is maintained by Deutsche Telekom security.

## Use cases
- set up a honeypot to capture and analyze attacks
- monitor malicious traffic on a network
- visualize attack sources on a live map
- collect threat intelligence from attackers
- deploy a distributed network of deception sensors
- study attacker behavior and techniques

## When to choose
- you want a turnkey honeypot platform with dashboards and attack maps out of the box
- you need to run many honeypots in one deployment with centralized logging via the Elastic Stack
- you want to deploy distributed sensors reporting to a central hive
- you have adequate hardware (8-16 GB RAM, 128 GB disk) and a dedicated system/VM for deception

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight intrusion detection solution on resource-constrained hardware
- you want a production firewall or IDS rather than a research/deception tool
- you cannot expose a system to the internet or dedicate ports to honeypots
- you need a managed cloud service rather than self-hosted infrastructure

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: security, monitoring, logging, data-visualization, container-runtime
- domain: security, networking, monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, cli
- tags: honeypot, deception, elastic-stack, threat-intelligence, attack-maps, intrusion-detection, containers, linux, docker
