PuTTY Enterprise

PuTTY stores SSH session details in the Windows Registry. Attackers enumerating sessions will find a saved connection pointing to your honeypot.

No stored password

PuTTY sessions do not store passwords by default. This breadcrumb captures the attacker when they attempt to connect, not when they read the config.

Generate from the SSH service row: Trapsters → device → Services → Generate breadcrumb → PuTTY profile.

1. Double-click the generated .reg file and agree to allow registry changes

   

2. Confirm the import
