I'm very new to python and i stumbled upon honeypots and I'm trying to learn it . I wanted to know the entire execution process of this. Did you connect your phone to the laptop hotspot? And how did you get that IP that you enter in?

Hey ! How did i run the file please ?

Hi! Thank you very much for your time and for this code. I have to face another little error -> For Example: MOTD: MessageOFTheDAY IP Address: 192.168.100.112 Port: 80 Starting honeypot! Connection from 192.168.100.112:42482 Error: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' (This happens when i try to access the ip of my laptop from another device - my mobile phone - ).. It breaks in main at the line: try: insock,send('%s\n%(motd)) I am sorry for wasting your time! All the best!

Change line to this to make it a bytes-like object.

insock.send(f"{motd}\n".encode("UTF-8"))

How to run the file please answer ASAP

???
