i think it would be pretty trivial to determine the box is a pot from whois etc.

people who target these supermarket chains etc. are doing just that. not scanning the entire internet and popping all the fridges, but doing targeted attacks.

mostly your pot will just be a +1 on benign peoples scanners.

you want honeypots for things that are mass exploited, not for things used in targeted attacks.

just my 2 cents. respect the project can be fun to do ofc but i wouldnt expect much interesting results.

Great input, thanks! My next step is to deploy on a normal ISP and not on a cloud provider. Just let it sit there. I think we should give back to those companies as much as possible. OT is not where the big money is and all security experts are flocking to. I've already started some actions in this direction btw.
