Canarytokens is a free security tool designed to help you find out when someone is poking around where they shouldn’t. Instead of waiting for a breach to surface through logs or damage, you plant small traps that announce themselves the moment an attacker interacts with them.
The service generates different kinds of tokens, such as web bugs, DNS records, Windows folders, and document beacons. Each token is unique and tied to an alert channel, so when it is triggered you receive a notification with details about the event. This makes it easy to scatter tripwires across files, servers, and cloud accounts.
It is aimed at system administrators, security analysts, and small teams that want a lightweight early-warning capability without a complex deployment. It can also be useful for individuals who want to monitor sensitive documents or credentials.
To get started, choose a token type, configure where alerts should go, and place the token in the location you want to monitor. Keep track of where each token lives and review alerts promptly. Canarytokens is a simple, focused way to add an extra layer of intrusion detection.
