Join us for the Honeynet Workshop 2024: May 27th–29th, Copenhagen, Denmark

Introducing Conpot

11 May 2013 Lukas Rist honeypot ics scada
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.

HoneyMap - Visualizing Worldwide Attacks in Real-Time

01 Oct 2012 Mark Schloesser honeymap honeypot visualization worldmap
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.

6Guard: a honeypot-based IPv6 attack detector

27 Aug 2012 Xu Weilin 6guard attack detect globalpot honeypot ipv6-d51
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 Download and install Scapy in your machine. (apt-get install python-scapy) Download the v1.0 tarball directly or the latest code from Github Repository, then extract it into a directory. Usage Enter the directory of 6Guard. Run $ sudo ./conf_generator.py to generate the configuration files. Run $ sudo .

HoneySink: Beta Release

11 Sep 2011 Shaun Vlassis beta gsoc honeypot honeysink sink sinkhole
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.

Free Honeynet Log Data for Research

26 Jun 2009 Anton Chuvakin data honeynet honeypot linux logging logs research security
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?

Improving Glastopf

15 Jun 2009 Lukas Rist glastopf honeypot
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.

Introducing Glastopf, a Web Application Honeypot

27 May 2009 Lukas Rist glastopf gsoc honeypot
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.

HoneyWeb, a web interface to manage client honeypots

26 May 2009 Thibaut Gadiolet client gsoc honeypot honeyweb
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:
