+# T-Pot Community Edition Image Creator
 
-T-Pot Community Edition Image Creator
+This repository contains the necessary files to create the **[T-Pot community honeypot](http://dtag-dev-sec.github.io/)**  ISO image. 
+The image can then be used to install T-Pot on a physical or virtual machine. 
 
-Requirements:
+### Image Creation
+**Requirements to create the ISO image:**
+- Ubuntu 14.04.2 or 14.10 as host system (others *may* work, but remain untested)
+- 2GB of free memory  
+- 4GB of free storage 
 
-- Ubuntu 14.04.2 or 14.10 (on Mac e.g. use Vagrant to run a virtual environment)
-- Depending on your installed distribution (desktop vs. server) you should have at least 2GB of free memory and 4GB of free storage before executing the script.
+**How to create the ISO image:**
+
+1. Clone the repository and enter it. 
+    
+        git clone git@github.com:dtag-dev-sec/tpotce.git
+        cd tpotce
+
+2. Invoke the script that builds the ISO image. 
+The script will download and install dependecies necessary to build the image on the invoking machine. It will further download the ubuntu base image (~600MB) which T-Pot is based on. 
+
+        sudo ./makeiso.sh
+After successful build, you will find the ISO image `tpotce.iso` in your directory. 
 
 
-Credentials:
+###Prebuilt ISO Image
+If you don't want to build the image yourself, you can download the prebuilt [tpotce.iso](http://dtag-dev-sec.github.io/tpotce.iso) ISO image from the project's web page. 
 
-user: tsec
-pass: tsec
+###Installation
+When installing the T-Pot ISO image, make sure the target system (physical/virtual) meets the following minimal requirements:
+- 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
+- 40 GB disk (64 GB SSD recommended)
+- Network via DHCP
 
+The installation requires very little interaction. Most things should be configured automatically. The system will reboot a couple of times. Make sure it can access the internet as it needs to download the dockerized honeypot components. Depending on your network connection, the installation may take some time. 
+Once the installation is finished, the system will automatically reboot and you will be presented with a login screen. The user credentials for the first login are:
+- user: tsec 
+- pass: tsec
+
+You will need to set a new password after first login.
+
+All honeypot services are started automatically.
