Brute.Fail Watch brute force attacks in real time
Thanks for the reference; after some link chasing I was able to end up on the project I believe you're thinking of: https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie#features (appears to be BSD-3-Clause: https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie/blob/master/LICENSE.rst )

Potentially millions of Android TVs and phones come with malware preinstalled
Technically, yes, but it is quite difficult to perform a realistic emulation of an OS with shell facilities, as evidenced by all the system emulation on SSH honeypots e.g. cowrie[1].

I'd like to build a database of the login/password associated with failed ssh attempts to my server and am trying to research the legality of this
In EU Law as long as you don't post full names you should be fine. There are honeypots for this purpose ready to deploy btw! Check out Cowrie. Best SSH honeypot I encountered so far.

It's currently a cowrie (https://github.com/cowrie/cowrie) with ssh and telnet. For my use case a low interaction in enough, maybe I'll code my own in the future.

[Paid] Seeking RE Help.
Have you tried the normal VM modifications to make the VM undetectable? Like changing the CPUID identifier and all the other stuff? Also, check this resource, maybe you find something that looks familiar: https://github.com/LordNoteworthy/al-khaser . Here you can check if your VM is “authentic” enough. Hope that helps! Good luck!
