HellPot

HellPot is an endless honeypot that sends bots to hell. Based on Heffalump.

It finishes the work of Heffalump with a few improvements and the addition of a toml configuration file and JSON logging. It is built off of CokePlate.

The source of the honeypot data is The Birth of Tragedy (Hellenism and Pessimism) by Friedrich Nietzsche

	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080$request_uri;
}  

location '/wp-login.php' {
