Mirrors the Canarytokens.org trick: a base64-wrapped CHANGE REPLICATION
SOURCE TO + START REPLICA block in the dump trailer. Importing the
file into MySQL resolves <slug>.<dns_zone> (DNS trip) and opens a 3306
replica handshake whose SOURCE_USER smuggles @@hostname and
@@lc_time_names of the victim DB.
DNS lookup alone is sufficient for detection via the existing canary
dns_server; capturing the smuggled metadata via a 3306 handshake
responder is a follow-up.
honeydoc previously emitted HTML only — operators picking 'Document'
out of the dropdown got a .html file dropped at /Documents/
quarterly_report.docx, which any attacker would clock the moment they
ran 'file' on it.
Two new generators that emit the real artifact format:
- honeydoc_docx: stdlib zipfile only. Builds a minimal but valid
Office Open XML zip with the same Q3 review body as the HTML
flavor and an external-image relationship pointing at the
callback URL — same trick the operator-upload DOCX instrumenter
uses, fetched on document open by Word and LibreOffice. Reuses
_drawing() and _next_rid() from instrumenters/docx.py to keep
the body/relationships shape identical between synthesised and
instrumented files.
- honeydoc_pdf: pikepdf-backed. One-page PDF in the 14 base fonts
(Helvetica, no font embedding), realistic body, /OpenAction /URI
on the catalog so most viewers fire the callback on document
open. Falls back to a clear error if pikepdf is missing so the
operator can switch to honeydoc / honeydoc_docx.
Default placement paths now reflect each generator's true extension
(.html / .docx / .pdf) so the UI suggests something sensible. Both
generators surfaced in the New Token modal's generator dropdown.
Five built-in generators that produce deterministic fake artifacts
keyed by the token slug:
- aws_creds — passive [default]/[prod] credentials block, no
callback wiring (AWS-key tokens require an external
trap, which is post-v1)
- git_config — .git/config with origin url = http_base/c/<slug>/repo.git
- env_file — .env with API_BASE_URL + WEBHOOK_NOTIFY_URL embedding
the callback URL plus inert realism filler
- ssh_key — PEM-shaped fake private key whose host comment carries
<slug>.<dns_zone> when DNS is deployed, else the
http_base host
- honeydoc — minimal HTML report with a 1x1 tracking-pixel <img>
whose src is the callback URL; fallback for the
deploy-time baseline before the operator uploads a
real DOCX/PDF
Tests assert byte-stability (same ctx -> same bytes), slug presence
in the embedded fields, that aws_creds is intentionally URL-free,
and that every artifact carries operator-facing notes for the
preview endpoint.
