Add UHBS — Universal Honeypot Benchmarking Standard
Author: cursor[bot]Created Sep 11, 2026Updated Sep 11, 2026
Summary
- Adds UHBS under Guides, alongside T-Pot and the Security Canary Maturity Model.
- Short description: open-source, vendor-neutral framework for evaluating honeypot / deception fidelity (UHQS scoring across protocol realism, telemetry, safety, and related modules).
Why this fits
- UHBS is not itself a honeypot — it is an evaluation / benchmarking standard and lab tooling for honeypots and deception tech, which belongs with the Guides / related-components part of this list.
- Complements existing detector entries under Anti-honeypot stuff (e.g. honeydet): those ask “is this a honeypot?”; UHBS asks “how realistic / safe / useful is this honeypot?”.
- Open source (Apache-2.0), actively maintained, with CLI + published scorecards for common honeypots (Cowrie, OpenCanary, Dionaea, MQTT decoys, and more).
- Not a duplicate of current listings (searched for UHBS / uhbs-standard / UHQS).
Proposed README entry (## Guides)
- [UHBS](https://github.com/uhbs/uhbs-standard) - Open-source Universal Honeypot Benchmarking Standard for vendor-neutral honeypot and deception evaluation (UHQS scoring).Place after the Security Canary Maturity Model bullet (before the Deployment subsection).
