Hey namidark,

As an avid honeypot person I like this project a lot, I'll be doing a talk at a conference about them soon. Do you provide a master repository for the username/password combinations that have been guessed? I understand I could do this with constant JSON fetching but I admit, I don't have an incredible talent when it comes to web technologies (but it is something I am working on improving).

If you drop me a line I can get you a DB dump - josh [ at ] bluescripts.net or open an issue on github

Any chance you'll make it generally public? I can see reasons for keeping it private and for having a public repository with occasional database dumps, don't know where you fall on that.

Of course, anyone who runs an SSH server on port 22 knows it's not that hard to generate your own little database quickly enough.

All the data is currently public (via the API) - you just have to know how to query the API to get it. Not sure if a publicly accessible endpoint to dump all data is a good idea (since that could get resource intensive).

If you have a suggestion for some api endpoints or better querying, let me know.
