Honeypots: Honeynet Project Scan of the Month Challenge for April - Open Proxy Honeypot

[Ryan Barnett <RCBarnett () hushmail com>]

Greetings all,
This month's challenge is to analyze web server log files looking for signs of abuse. The Honeypots: Monitoring and 
Forensics Project (http://honeypots.sourceforge.net) deployed an Apache web server that was configured as an Open 
Proxy. Your job is to analyze the log files and identify/classify the different attacks (trust me, there are a 
surprising number of them :). All entries are due Friday, 30 April. Results will be released Friday, 7 May.

Before analyzing the web logs, Please review the honeypot whitepaper entitled Open Proxy Honeypot 
(http://honeypots.sourceforge.net/open_proxy_honeypots.pdf) for in depth details of the configurations. This paper will 
provide important background information to aid in your analysis of the SoTM data.

Good Luck!
