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.

Security research homelab, made with <3
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.

Risks of hosting a website out of my house
Monitoring & Active Measures - Exporting firewall events to an external time-series database like I describe above is good to see who is touching your firewall or accessing your web site. Using an Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata, which is a free package on pfSense, and deploying file system integrity monitoring, such as the open-source Wazuh on the exposed server are also good approaches to protecting yourself.

Active Measures - Includes (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata or Snort on pfSense, and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), such as the commercial Tripwire and dated, open-source Tripwire, or the open-source Wazuh installed on servers. These can be combined into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system like the open-source solution, Security Onion. Wazuh itself has evolved into a SIEM.
