'Deploys DNS, HTTP, and AWS API key canary tokens across network infrastructure.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Implementing Canary Tokens for Network Intrusion Detection ## When to Use - When deploying deception-based tripwires across network infrastructure to detect intrusions - When building early warning systems that alert on unauthorized access to sensitive resources - When planting fake AWS credentials, DNS beacons, or HTTP tokens to catch attackers during lateral movement - When integrating canary token alerts with SOC workflows via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or SIEM webhooks - When complementing traditional IDS/IPS with zero-false-positive deception technology ## Prerequisites - Python 3.8+ with `requests` library installed - Network access to canarytokens.org API (or self-hosted Canarytokens instance) - Webhook endpoint for alert delivery (Slack, Teams, email, or generic HTTP) - For Thinkst Canary enterprise: valid console domain and API auth token - Administrative access to target systems where tokens will be planted - Appropriate authorization for all deployment activities ## Core Concepts ### What Are Canary Tokens? Canary tokens are digital tripwires -- resources that should never be accessed during normal …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/implementing-canary-tokens-for-network-intrusion@sha256:91478d919212791eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
