Collect session logs from an SSH honeypot to observe unauthorized access attempts in real time. Group incoming traffic by remote IP address, decode executed shell commands and downloaded scripts, and flag automated brute-force attacks and interactive intrusion patterns for security review.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Parse new JSON events from the honeypot log stream using terminal commands. Extract client IP addresses, submitted credentials, and shell commands run during each interactive session. Save normalized session data into the database. When suspicious payload URLs or novel intrusion patterns appear, compile a triage brief and request approval before posting alert notifications to chat.
