Hi,
Thanks for making this open source. This PR adjusts the reported Cowrie SSH version to match what is sent by a real Ubuntu 22.04LTS system. This reduces the ease of fingerprinting this as a honeypot. Currently, this string is unique to tpot, so it's easy to see all running honeypots worldwide (that have updated since 025ab2d) on https://www.shodan.io/search?query=product%3A%22OpenSSH%22+version%3A%228.9p1+Ubuntu+2ubuntu0.10%22 (840). Compare this against https://www.shodan.io/search?query=product%3A%22OpenSSH%22+version%3A%228.9p1+Ubuntu+3ubuntu0.10%22 (2,841,601).
Additionally, this makes the honeypot not read as vulnerable to CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion) by scanners such as https://github.com/xaitax/CVE-2024-6387_Check/tree/main
Cheers,
Nick
