Description:
A personality is a "preset" of ports, services and IP stack for various vendors that you'd find on a network.
Each Canary can take on the personality of real systems that you have deployed on your network (and maybe some that you don't).
These help your Canary present themselves to match the real deal when they show up in network scans.
Note:
Canaries are configured to emulate their personalities at a network level. This means no licenses (e.g. Microsoft License) or OS images are required.
Note:
If there is a device not in the list that you'd like to see included, feel free to reach out to support@canary.tools to let us know!

Custom TCP Services:
Our custom TCP service allows you to create any number of services on your Canary that we don't support out of the box. For example, you could add TCP/25 to your Canary to have it emulate the SMTP service. Any activity detected on this port will generate an alert. Click here for our guide on setting up custom TCP Services.
Emulation:
Personality emulation goes beyond just an Operating System fingerprint and some port listeners. We do a bunch of tweaking under the hood to make sure your Canaries also talk on the right protocol for each of their services.
If your Canary has been set up as a SCADA device, it will talk on the proper Modbus protocol too!
The scan below shows a port and OS scan performed on a Canary, which has been configured as a Cisco router.
We spoof the MAC address (so it looks legit) and the actual OS identifies as a version of IOS running on Cisco kit.
To get this result, we take things like TTL response times, TCP Sequencing, OS fingerprint, and more into account, so all that an attacker sees is a Cisco device, and you get an alert when any of it's services are touched.
