Each honeypot container now carries its own copy of the shared RFC 5424
formatter. Services that previously rolled their own ad-hoc syslog
lines can now import syslog_line / write_syslog_file for a consistent
SD-element format that the collector already knows how to parse.
Rename the container-side logging module decnet_logging → syslog_bridge
(canonical at templates/syslog_bridge.py, synced into each template by
the deployer). Drop the stale per-template copies; setuptools find was
picking them up anyway. Swap useradd/USER/chown "decnet" for "logrelay"
so no obvious token appears in the rendered container image.
Apply the same cloaking pattern to the telnet template that SSH got:
syslog pipe moves to /run/systemd/journal/syslog-relay and the relay
is cat'd via exec -a "systemd-journal-fwd". rsyslog.d conf rename
99-decnet.conf → 50-journal-forward.conf. SSH capture script:
/var/decnet/captured → /var/lib/systemd/coredump (real systemd path),
logger tag decnet-capture → systemd-journal. Compose volume updated
to match the new in-container quarantine path.
SD element ID shifts decnet@55555 → relay@55555; synced across
collector, parser, sniffer, prober, formatter, tests, and docs so the
host-side pipeline still matches what containers emit.
Every service's _log() called print() then write_syslog_file() which also
calls print(), causing every log line to appear twice in Docker logs. The
collector streamed both copies, doubling ingested events. Removed the
redundant print() from all 22 service server.py files.
dict[str, Any] and X | Y union syntax require Python 3.10+. Containers
running centos7/ubuntu20/rocky9 base images ship Python 3.6-3.9 and
crashed on import. Adding the __future__ import makes all annotations
lazy strings, compatible back to Python 3.7.
Affected: templates/decnet_logging.py (+ all 22 template copies),
decnet/logging/syslog_formatter.py, decnet/logging/file_handler.py

- HTTP: configurable server_header, response_code, fake_app presets
(apache/nginx/wordpress/phpmyadmin/iis), extra_headers, custom_body,
static files directory mount
- SSH/Cowrie: configurable kernel_version, hardware_platform, ssh_banner,
and users/passwords via COWRIE_USERDB_ENTRIES; switched to build mode
so cowrie.cfg.j2 persona fields and userdb.txt generation work
- SMTP: configurable banner and MTA hostname
- MySQL: configurable version string in protocol greeting
- Redis: configurable redis_version and os string in INFO response
- BYOS: [custom-*] INI sections define bring-your-own Docker services
- Stealth: rename all *_honeypot.py → server.py; replace HONEYPOT_NAME
env var with NODE_NAME across all 22+ service templates and plugins;
strip "honeypot" from all in-container file content
- Config: DeckyConfig.service_config dict; INI [decky-N.svc] subsections;
composer passes service_cfg to compose_fragment
- 350 tests passing (100%)

--break-system-packages was added in pip 23 (Debian Bookworm). Ubuntu 22.04
ships pip 22 which rejects the flag with exit code 2. Switch to the
PIP_BREAK_SYSTEM_PACKAGES env var instead: recognized by pip>=23, silently
ignored by pip<23 where PEP 668 is not enforced anyway.

- Replace hardcoded ALL_SERVICE_NAMES=[5 services] in cli.py with
_all_service_names() pulling dynamically from the plugin registry;
randomize-services now draws from all 25 registered honeypots
- Add build_base field to DistroProfile: apt-compatible image for service
Dockerfiles (ubuntu22/ubuntu20/kali get their own; others fall back to
debian:bookworm-slim since Dockerfiles use apt-get)
- Add build_base to DeckyConfig; propagate from distro in _build_deckies
and _build_deckies_from_ini
- Inject BASE_IMAGE build arg in composer.py for every build-based service
so each decky's containers reflect its assigned distro
- Update all 21 service Dockerfiles: FROM debian:bookworm-slim →
ARG BASE_IMAGE=debian:bookworm-slim / FROM ${BASE_IMAGE}
- Add tests/test_cli_service_pool.py and tests/test_composer.py (306 total)
