fake-iis

Docker honeypot that disguises a server as a Microsoft IIS website

PlatformWebfree

fake-iis is a free, open-source Docker image that serves a convincing replica of the default Microsoft IIS 8.0 website, complete with matching HTTP headers and error pages, to disguise what a server actually is. It's a lightweight deception decoy meant to make a service look like an uninteresting, unrelated target to automated scanners and casual attackers. It's for homelab and security enthusiasts who want a low-effort honeypot-style decoy without deploying a full deception platform.
