About Canary Tokens
Canary Tokens generates lightweight, embedded honeypot triggers, called canary tokens, that alert you when someone accesses them, helping detect unauthorized access and data breaches early. You create a token, such as a document, URL, DNS name, or file, and deploy it somewhere an intruder is likely to touch; when it trips, you receive an alert with useful context. The public generator is free to use, and the open-source version can be self-hosted for organizations wanting their own detection tripwires.
