Hi ,
Thankyou for the responses.
I have got a fair idea about the honeypot solutions available. I tried
out KFSensor on Windows XP and installed Honeyd1.5a on a RHEL 3.0
machine both with the default configurations. I will now explore the
advanced features.
I will also try out honeybot and Specter.
I went through tracking-hackers.com, and the mailing lists at honeyd
site. Is there any suggestion for other disscussion forums available
for the honeypot technology.
Thanks,
Biju
