Endlessh Fisher – Turn SSH tarpit bots into collectible fish

It turns trapped SSH bots into collectible fish with species tied to trap duration, a live aquarium view, achievements, leaderboards and a read-only REST API — a delightful gamification of honeypot telemetry. Nice practical details too: privacy-friendly default hashing, optional on-click IP lookups (Shodan/AbuseIPDB), and a Docker Compose entrypoint that runs migrations and seeds automatically; just remember this is purely a visualization layer — you still need endlessh-go and InfluxDB.
