A detailed guide on how an SSH LLM honeypot successfully trapped a real threat actor who downloaded and attempted to execute malicious binaries.

The post also includes steps to configure and run the honeypot using Docker, and discusses the information gathered from the threat actor's activities, as well as actions taken to mitigate the threat.
