Why all data encoded with .encode('hex')? about honeypy

[foospidy]

Thanks for the question, no problem asking here.

The data is encoded to effectively neuter malicious payloads. This helps to avoid any possible code or command injection issues when storing the data or processing it upstream. Also, if you want to log raw payloads, many will contain return characters so you'll end up with multiline entries in the log file. Perhaps that is ok for your use case.

If you want to add that feature, I recommend making that a configurable option so users can opt-in to using it. So default would be to encode, but a user can add something like encode = False in the config file.

make sense?

I see your point.

I'll add generic escaping to avoid this

Will do it this way
