    Hi All,
    Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to create honeypots .
    I have read the online manual of roo from honeynet.org which gives
    information only about honeywalls .
    Kindly excuse my newbie question as am just learning these things .
    Thanks in advance for the replies

    hi
    you can go projecthoneypot.org, register an user, there are
    instructions and script of how to install honeypot.

    Deva,

    A honeypot can be any non-production system, so creating one can be
    as simple as getting a system setup with Windows or Linux while
    waiting for it to be attacked. The honeywall sits in between the
    honeypot and the network and helps with logging activities directed
    to or coming from the honeypot if it is compromised. It also helps
    limit the outgoing damage and associated liability if something does
    compromise the honeypot. And, the honeywall is designed to do this
    while trying to remain hidden from the outside.

    You can also create a series of honeypot systems and network that run
    virtually on a single system using some software called Honeyd.

    To get up to speed, setup the honeynet on one system and setup a
    regular Linux or Windows system on another and you will learn a lot.

    nepenthes (nepenthes.mwcollect.org) is also an easy low-interaction
    honeypot to start with. It emulates known Windows vulnerabilities and
    catches quite a few different worms and bots.

    A high-interaction honeypot is just some extra monitoring stuff (such
    as the Roo honeywall) on top of a genuinely vulnerable system and
    needs *constant* attention.

    For a web-based honeypot, you could, e.g. install awstats, change the
    version number to a vulnerable version (6.4 and below I think) and
    then get it indexed on search engines. (see
    http://ghh.sourceforge.net/ for other ways of doing web-based stuff).

    The first reply concerns spam honeypots, which pretend to be open
    relays, or open SCKS proxies but actually throw away all the email
    except the first test.

    cheers,

    Dear List members ,

    Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.

    I have started looking at honeyd and nepenthes howtos .

    Thanks once again .

    Dev,

    Worth a read when getting started with honeypots are:

    The Honeynet Project books

    Roger Grimes's "Honeypots for Windows" book:

    And I`d take a look existing low and high interaction honeypot solutions:

    Most are pretty straight forward to test and experiment with in a lab.

    Hopefully these links should be enough to get you started, good luck!

    Thanks,

    David
