  Thinkst has an open source version of their commercial product called opencanary that is popular and that I also personally vouch for.

  At the start its worth noting, that if you deploy Canaries (our paid version of the free version we build at opencanary.org) you get the fidelity of alert you want. ie. you get to run a fake fileshare with files you want on it. Anytime the file is opened, you get a notification (since you effectively are the host offering the file).

• Does anyone have OpenCanary working in a docker container?

  Have you tried the Dockerfiles and compose from this repo https://github.com/thinkst/opencanary ?

  I setup open canary. Not exactly the same thing obviously but it was pretty easy to setup and confirm working. I hope anyone that gains access tries to connect to it and gives me a notification via email. No guarantees obviously and I'm not an expert so open to feedback how people think about these things.

  Opencanary Get out https://github.com/thinkst/opencanary for details on this. Run the following for download and installation: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y sudo apt install git -y sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev -y sudo apt-get install python3-pip -y git clone https://github.com/thinkst/opencanary cd opencanary sudo python3 setup.py install Now generate a config file. opencanaryd --copyconfig Now edit the new conf file: vim .opencanary.conf Make sure to keep proper JSON formatting or the OpenCanary service won't start. I used jq to validate that the JSON file is good to go! If there are issues it will help you quickly identify them.
