HoneyEdge · Network Early Warning System
Protect
your hive.
Detect intrusion before real devices are reached.
HoneyEdge acts like a watchful bee at the entrance of your network. When attackers probe, scan, or guess their way in, HoneyEdge records the activity and alerts you.
● Ethernet plug-and-protect · USB-only updates by default · Cloud or standalone alerts
Early warning. Real protection.
A convincing decoy that reveals suspicious activity.
Legitimate users never need to interact with HoneyEdge. A direct connection, login attempt, or scan becomes a high-confidence signal that something may be exploring your network.
Detect
Find scans, probes, login attempts, and suspicious decoy interactions.
Alert
Receive instant notifications through HoneyEdge Cloud, Telegram, or email.
Protect
Get early knowledge so you can isolate or investigate a suspicious device sooner.
Privacy first
No monitoring of your browsing history or unrelated personal network traffic.
Simple to deploy
Plug in. Detect early. Stay secure.
Connect HoneyEdge to Ethernet, select a built-in decoy profile, and choose where alerts should be delivered. No local server is required.
✓ Convincing decoy profiles
Smart-home hub, camera, printer, legacy IoT gateway, and passive tripwire.
✓ Immediate incident recording
The first connection is logged before the fake service replies.
✓ Cloud or standalone operation
Use HoneyEdge Cloud, company syslog, Telegram, email, or webhook alerts.
Built for security
Secure by default, not by promise.
HoneyEdge minimizes its remote attack surface. Firmware updates are performed over USB by default, and the cloud cannot silently enable OTA updates or replace trusted certificates.
USB-only updates
Remote firmware updates are disabled in the default build.
Locked local controls
Server URL, CA trust, and update policy require local USB access.
Unique device identity
Each device receives its own revocable credential after one-time enrollment.
Minimal data collection
Records only decoy interactions and the metadata needed to investigate them.
How it works
From silent probe to clear warning.
01
An unknown device probes
A compromised or unauthorized device begins scanning the local network.
02
HoneyEdge records it
The decoy captures the source, service, timing, and interaction details immediately.
03
You receive an alert
A concise notification explains the source, severity, and recommended next action.
Perfect for
Security for networks without a security team.
Home networks
Protect your family, NAS, cameras, and smart devices.
Small businesses
Early threat detection without enterprise complexity.
Coworking spaces
Know when something starts exploring a shared network.
Homelabs & enthusiasts
Add a lightweight, visible, and useful security layer.
A small bee today can prevent a big problem tomorrow.

FAQ
Clear answers, no fear marketing.
Does HoneyEdge inspect all of my network traffic?
No. HoneyEdge primarily detects direct interaction with its decoy services. It does not monitor your browsing history or act as a full packet-inspection system.
Does it block an attacker automatically?
No. HoneyEdge provides an early warning and useful evidence. You decide whether to isolate, investigate, or block the source device.
Is a cloud account required?
No. Minimal mode can send Telegram, email, or webhook alerts directly. HoneyEdge Cloud adds account management, device status, dashboards, and centralized configuration.
Can the cloud enable firmware updates remotely?
No. OTA is disabled in the default build, and cloud configuration cannot override the USB-only firmware policy.
Who is HoneyEdge for?
It is designed for homes, small offices, coworking spaces, labs, and early AIoT security pilots that need a simple, understandable intrusion warning system.
