Breach detection honeypot tokens.

Vulnerability managementOpen Source
Our review

What we like

Generate honeypot files (Word, Excel, PDF, executables) and tokens (AWS) which send alerts when triggered e.g. when a file is opened or the API credentials are used. Also supports DNS record, MySQL dump and other types of honeypot tokens. Email or webhook URL notifications. Provides another layer of detection e.g. from malware scraping credentials from laptops. Free service.

What we don't like

Token types are more-or-less sufficient, but somewhat limited e.g. only supports AWS tokens (Slack tokens were deprecated).
