Hi HN, I built a small internet artwork and security toy: a honeypot that looks like a misconfigured server, so scanners come knocking. Instead of an error page, every request gets a short poem tailored to what it was looking for. WordPress probes get haikus, .env hunters find verse hidden in fake credentials, brute-force attempts get meditations on doors and keys.The idea came one night watching fail2ban logs scroll by. Thousands of knocks from all over the world, all silently ignored. What if the door answered?Try it: $ curl -A 'python-requests/2.28.1' https://honeypoet.art/.env # ======================================== # PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT — DO NOT SHARE # ===========================

Within the show hn launch space, the company focuses on its core offering rather than a broad product line.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
