Endlessh is an SSH tarpit and network honeypot designed to mitigate automated SSH brute force attacks. It acts as a defensive layer that protects servers by diverting malicious connection attempts into a slow-motion trap. The project implements a tarpit by sending endless, throttled banners to clients, which keeps connections open indefinitely to occupy attacker resources and slow down network scans. The service includes connection rate limiting to prevent system resource exhaustion and provides monitoring through connection activity and diagnostic data logging to system logs. Process manage
