Is this for homelab penetration testing?

Well, you could use it for blue team simulations i guess, but not really, it is a Deception platform, meaning it is a tool used to deploy micro honeypots, or as i like to call them, tripwires, that report back to the hub as soon as they are tripped. Since these tripwires offer no real services or value every interaction with them is pretty suspicious, meaning that if something for example tries to poke around a server that has been deployed with HoneyWire tripwires, it will report back to the hub reporting back what touched it, when, where, and what was done. Check the project’s official website for more details: honeywire.dev You can also check out the concept of Canaries on Thinkst Canary s website i think they do a great job explaining the idea canary.tools.
