The Honeynet Project

Thug 0.4.0 was released on June, 8th 2012 and a huge number of really important features were added since then. During the last two years I had a lot of fun thinking and designing the future of the project and I'm really proud of what Thug is now. I have to thank a lot of persons who contributed with their suggestions, ideas, bug reports and sometimes patches. You know who you are. Really thanks!

Ever wanted to run up a quick instance of Thug on a couple of malicious web sites or try it out but lacked the sys op knowledge or time to install it? Here is the opportunity. Thanks to Docker you can run Thug up in a matter of minutes. Jose Nazario and me have created two docker images which are in the Docker Hub ready to run.

So this is how to do it:

Well folks, just a few days and the workshops will kick off ! Registrants, please remember to bring your printed tickets !
The on-line registration was closed on May 8th and tickets are almost sold out. Just a few tickets are left for on-site registration. No promises, but if you are in the area. Check it out !

With the release of version 0.4.37 the honeyclient thug also supports APK analysis. This feature is made possible through Androguard (https://code.google.com/p/androguard/) ! Grab your copy at https://github.com/buffer/thug or update your code with git pull !

So if you want to attend you better act fast. For more information and registration visit http://warsaw2014.honeynet.org/trainings.html#training1
