We proudly announce the first release of our Industrial Control System honeypot named Conpot.

Until now setting up an ICS honeypot required substantial manual work, real systems which are usually either inaccessible or expensive and lecture of quite tedious protocol specifications. With implementing a master server for a larger set of common industrial communication protocols and virtual slaves which are easy to configure, we provide an easy entry into the analysis of threats against industrial infrastructures and control systems.

The HoneyMap shows a real-time visualization of attacks against the Honeynet Project’s sensors deployed around the world. It leverages the internal data sharing protocol hpfeeds as its data source. Read this post to learn about the technical details and frequently asked questions. Before going into explanations, take a look at the map itself: map.honeynet.org!

We have seen attack visualizations for quite some time in various forms and availabilities. So far, we only had a GTK canvas based solution and a project around Google Earth and WebGL that would show attacks against our honeypot systems. The most awesome related projects are coming from our Australian folks (thanks Ben) - make sure to take a look at their site.

6Guard is a honeypot-based IPv6 attack detector aiming at detecting the link-local level attacks, especially when the port-mirror feature of switch is unavailable.

Intallation

1. 1. Download and install Scapy in your machine. (apt-get install python-scapy)
2. 1. Download the v1.0 tarball directly or the latest code from Github Repository, then extract it into a directory.

Usage

1. 1. Enter the directory of 6Guard.
2. 1. Run $ sudo ./conf_generator.py to generate the configuration files.
3. 1. Run $ sudo ./6guard.py.

Note: The ./conf directory stores the configuration files of the honeypots and the globalpot. The ./log directory stores the operation logs and the attacking records. The ./pcap directory stores the message-related packets that can be reviewed in Wireshark.

The Beta version of HoneySink is out!

What is HoneySink?

HoneySink is an open source network sinkhole that provides a mechanism for detection and prevention of malicious traffic on a given network.

Able to be deployed both internally and externally it is designed to log and respond to incoming requests for a number of network protocols.

With configuration and scalability in mind, HoneySink was designed from the ground up with a non-blocking architecture to handle extremely large amounts of traffic while being able to perform customised interactions and logging.

UPDATE: the log data is posted here.  A notification group about new log sharing is here.

This WASL 2009 workshop reminded me that I always used to bitch that some academic researchers use antediluvian data sets for their research (Lincoln labs 1998 set used in 2008 “security research”  makes me want to just curse and kick people in the balls, then laugh, then cry, then cry more…).

However, why are they doing it? Don’t they realize that testing their “innovative intrusion detection” or “neural network-based log analysis” on such prehistoric data will not render it relevant to today’s threats? And will only ensure ensuing hilarity :-)

Last saturday I’ve finally released a new Glastopf version. There are some new features and many changes under the hood.

New implemented features:

LFI (Locale File Inclusion) handler: He is back! I have lost him somehow during coding and now he has his own handler. I am looking forward to get some data for attack method comparison. Furthermore he is one possible first layer for RCE (Remote Code Execution) attacks. So I am also curious if I’m catching some of those attacks.

Hello, this initial blog post is used to introduce me and to provide a brief overview of my GSoC Project.

My name is Lukas Rist (my personal blog) and I am currently studying Math and Physics at the University of Kaiserslauter in Germany. This is my first time in GSoC and I will be working with Thorsten Holz on Glastopf, a Web Application Honeypot.

Glastopf is a minimalistic web server emulator written in Python. The honeypot tool collects information about web application-based attacks like for example remote file inclusion, SQL injection, and local file inclusion attacks.

Hi folks !

As the GSoC started, this blog entry will introduce to you, myself and my project.

My name is Thibaut, I am still a student like all GSoC participants I guess and I belong to the ENSI of Bourges (France). I took one year off for doing research at the university of Maryland (USA) in the IT security field, especially in honeypots.

About my GSoC project, here is a short description of it:
