A very interesting read... If I may, how did the attacker manage to get in?

The script seems to be a very favored tool for some hackers (more like
skiddies in my book =)) to download "tools" from http sites onto their
targets. It would have been fun to get hold of those executables the
attacker tried to copy over and "disembowel" 'em hehe.

Gut feel, what occurred on your honeypot was an automated attack (why
run an executable when it failed to get tftp'd over in the first
place?). Most likely not done by a pro; prolly a student on sem break.
=)

Great work on the project, good luck... ;-)
