# API Reference: Implementing Honeypot for Ransomware Detection
## Canary File Strategy
| Name Pattern | Extension | Purpose |
|-------------|-----------|---------|
| `!Accounting_*` | .docx, .xlsx | Sorted first alphabetically |
| `~$Confidential_*` | .pdf, .csv | Mimics temp/open Office files |
| `!Payroll_*` | .xlsx, .bak | High-value bait |
## Integrity Monitoring
```python
import hashlib
from pathlib import Path
content = Path("canary.docx").read_bytes()
sha256 = hashlib.sha256(content).hexdigest()
```
## Ransomware Extension Indicators
| Extension | Ransomware Family |
|-----------|------------------|
| `.encrypted` | Generic |
| `.locked` | LockBit, GandCrab |
| `.crypto` | CryptoLocker variants |
| `.ransom` | Generic |
| `.enc` | Various |
## Samba Honeypot Share (full_audit VFS)
```ini
[FinanceArchive]
path = /srv/honeypot
vfs objects = full_audit
full_audit:success = open opendir write rename unlink
full_audit:failure = open
full_audit:facility = LOCAL7
full_audit:priority = NOTICE
```
## Thinkst Canary API
```bash
# List incidents
curl "https://DOMAIN.canary.tools/api/v1/incidents/all" \
-d auth_token=TOKEN
# Acknowledge incident
curl "https://DOMAIN.canary.tools/api/v1/incident/acknowledge" \
-d auth_token=TOKEN -d incident=INC_ID
```
## Detection Thresholds
| Metric | Threshold | Severity |
|--------|----------|----------|
| Files modified in 60s | > 50 | CRITICAL |
| Canary file deleted | Any | CRITICAL |
| Canary hash changed | Any | CRITICAL |
| Known ransom extensions | Any | CRITICAL |
