I run endlessh-go (https://github.com/shizunge/endlessh-go) as an SSH tarpit on my VPS. It traps bots by slowly sending an endless SSH banner and reports metrics to InfluxDB.

I wanted a fun way to see what it catches, so I built a fishing game around it. Every bot gets classified as a fish species based on trap duration — from Plankton (< 30s) to Leviathan (14+ days). There are achievements, daily challenges, a treasure system with security tips, and IP intelligence via Shodan/AbuseIPDB.

Requires: endlessh-go + InfluxDB 2.x (as data source), then just `docker compose up -d` and it handles the rest.

Stack: Django, Celery, PostgreSQL, HTMX. Fully self-hosted, no external resources loaded (GDPR-friendly).

Happy to answer any questions!
