What is a Canarytoken?
A Canarytoken is a digital tripwire (honeypot) that helps you detect unauthorized access, data breaches, or snooping. By placing a token in a secret location, you can get instant alerts whenever someone tries to access it.
Why Use Canarytokens?
- Breach Detection: Know instantly if a hacker has breached your server and is downloading files.
- Data Leak Tracking: Track if your confidential documents are being opened by unauthorized third parties.
- Email Tracking: Use the transparent image pixel to know exactly when your emails are opened.
Available Token Types
- Web URL: A simple, unique URL. Drop it in a fake `passwords.txt` file or slack channel.
- Invisible Image: A 1x1 transparent pixel. Embed it via HTML in emails or websites to track views.
- Redirect Token: Similar to a Web URL, but it silently redirects the attacker to a real website so they remain unaware.
- Word Document: A `.docx` file containing an invisible remote template trigger. Triggers when opened in MS Word.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are Canarytokens safe to use?
Yes, absolutely! Canarytokens are completely passive. They do not contain malware, viruses, or any harmful code. They simply make a web request to our servers when triggered, which allows us to notify you.
What information is collected when a token is triggered?
When an attacker triggers your token, our servers record their IP address, User-Agent (browser/device information), timestamp, and the referring URL. This information is immediately emailed to you.
How does the Word Document token work?
The Word Document token leverages a feature in Microsoft Word called "Remote Templates". We inject a hidden tracking URL into the document's internal structure. When someone opens the document, MS Word automatically tries to fetch this template from our servers, thereby triggering the alert and exposing the opener's IP address.
Are these tokens free to use?
Yes, generating and using Canarytokens on Kagfe is 100% free with no limits on the number of tokens you can create.
