+# hono-honeypot
+
+> Lightweight security middleware for Hono.js - block bots and vulnerability scanners with zero dependencies
+
+Protect your Hono applications from WordPress attacks, PHP exploits, and brute-force attempts with this edge-ready honeypot middleware. Works seamlessly on Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Deno, and Node.js runtimes. Returns `410 Gone` for faster search engine deindexing and reduced bot retry attempts.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Zero dependencies** - Pure TypeScript pattern matching, no external libraries or runtime requirements
+- ⚡ **<1ms execution** - Early termination firewall logic with minimal CPU overhead
+- 🛡️ **Production-ready** - Blocks 80+ common web scraper and vulnerability scanner patterns
+- 🌍 **Universal edge support** - Deploy on Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Deno, Vercel Edge, Node.js
+- 🔧 **Customizable** - Add custom patterns or exclude built-in rules for your use case
+- 🚀 **SEO-friendly** - Uses 410 Gone status for faster Google/Bing deindexing
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install hono-honeypot
+# or
+pnpm add hono-honeypot
+# or
+bun add hono-honeypot
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+```typescript
+import { Hono } from 'hono'
+import { honeypot } from 'hono-honeypot'
+
+const app = new Hono()
+
+// Apply globally (recommended - place early in middleware chain)
+app.use('*', honeypot())
+
+app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hello!'))
+
+export default app
+```
+
+### With Options
+
+```typescript
+import { honeypot } from 'hono-honeypot'
+
+app.use('*', honeypot({
+  // Add custom attack patterns to block
+  patterns: [
+    /^\/custom-admin/i,
+    /^\/secret/i,
+  ],
+
+  // Exclude built-in patterns (e.g., allow /admin for your own routes)
+  exclude: [
+    /^\/admin$/i, // Allow /admin but still block other admin patterns
+  ],
+
+  // Enable request logging (default: true)
+  log: true,
+
+  // HTTP status code (default: 410 Gone for faster bot deterrence)
+  status: 410, // or 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found
+}))
+```
+
+### Protect Specific Routes
+
+```typescript
+// Only protect API routes
+app.use('/api/*', honeypot())
+
+// Exclude certain paths
+app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
+  if (c.req.path.startsWith('/public')) {
+    return next()
+  }
+  return honeypot()(c, next)
+})
+```
+
+## What It Blocks
+
+Intercepts 80+ common attack vectors including:
+
+- **PHP vulnerability scanners**: `*.php`, `/phpinfo`, `/config.php`, `/eval-stdin.php`
+- **WordPress brute force**: `/wp-admin`, `/wp-login.php`, `/xmlrpc.php`, `/wp-config.php`
+- **Admin panel enumeration**: `/admin`, `/phpmyadmin`, `/cpanel`, `/cgi-bin`
+- **CMS framework exploits**: `/typo3`, `/joomla`, `/drupal`, `/magento`
+- **Sensitive file probing**: `/.env`, `/.git`, `*.sql`, `/node_modules`, `/database.yml`
+- **Backup file discovery**: `/backup`, `/old`, `/test`, `/demo`, `/temp`
+- **Auth endpoint scanning**: `/login`, `/register`, `/dashboard` (exact matches only)
+- **Directory brute force**: `/2017`, `/2018`, etc. (year-based folder guessing)
+- **Web shell detection**: `/shell.php`, `/c99.php`, `/r57.php`
+
+**Smart anchoring prevents false positives:**
+- ✅ Blocks `/admin` but allows `/api/admin`
+- ✅ Blocks `/blog` but allows `/blogs`
+- ✅ Blocks `/login` but allows `/api/auth/login`
+
+## Why 410 Gone?
+
+Returns `410 Gone` (not `404 Not Found`) for better bot deterrence and SEO hygiene:
+
+- **Search engine optimization**: Google and Bing prioritize `410` responses for permanent removal from search indexes
+- **Bot mitigation**: Web scrapers and vulnerability scanners stop retrying sooner, reducing server load
+- **Bandwidth savings**: Empty response body conserves bandwidth during high-volume DDoS-style attacks
+- **Security best practice**: Signals permanent unavailability, not temporary 404 errors that encourage retry logic
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Options API
+
+```typescript
+interface HoneypotOptions {
+  /**
+   * Add custom attack patterns to block (e.g., /internal, /private)
+   * Merged with built-in 80+ patterns
+   */
+  patterns?: RegExp[]
+
+  /**
+   * Exclude specific built-in patterns (e.g., allow /admin for your own routes)
+   * Useful when you need legitimate routes that match attack patterns
+   */
+  exclude?: RegExp[]
+
+  /**
+   * Log blocked requests to console with 🍯 emoji and IP address
+   * @default true
+   */
+  log?: boolean
+
+  /**
+   * HTTP status code to return for blocked requests
+   * @default 410 - 410 Gone (fastest bot deterrence + search engine deindexing)
+   *          404 - Not Found (standard but encourages bot retries)
+   *          403 - Forbidden (signals authentication issue, may trigger escalation)
+   */
+  status?: 410 | 404 | 403
+}
+```
+
+### Logging Output
+
+```bash
+🍯 Blocked [192.168.1.1] GET /wp-admin
+🍯 Blocked [203.0.113.5] POST /phpmyadmin
+🍯 Blocked [198.51.100.42] HEAD /backup
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Overhead**: <1ms per request
+- **Memory**: ~8KB (pattern array)
+- **CPU**: Minimal (regex matching, short-circuits on first match)
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Place early** in middleware chain (before rate limiters, authentication, and business logic)
+2. **Use exclude option** if you have legitimate routes matching attack patterns (e.g., `/admin` dashboard)
+3. **Test thoroughly** with your application routes to prevent false positives blocking real users
+4. **Monitor logs** in staging/production to identify new attack vectors and emerging bot patterns
+5. **Add custom patterns** specific to your application architecture (internal endpoints, legacy routes)
+6. **Combine with rate limiting** for defense-in-depth security strategy
+7. **Review periodically** to update patterns as new vulnerabilities and scanning techniques emerge
+
+## Framework Compatibility
+
+Works with all Hono.js runtimes:
+
+- ✅ Cloudflare Workers
+- ✅ Bun
+- ✅ Deno
+- ✅ Node.js
+- ✅ Vercel Edge Functions
+- ✅ Fastly Compute
+
+## Migration from Express
+
+```typescript
+// Before (Express)
+app.use((req, res, next) => {
+  if (req.path.includes('wp-admin')) {
+    return res.status(410).end()
+  }
+  next()
+})
+
+// After (Hono)
+app.use('*', honeypot())
+```
