The Honeynet Project has released a new freebie honeypot client tool that lets security pros and researchers automatically detect and dissect bot infections and other malware attacks on client machines.
Capture-HPC v2.1 is an updated and enhanced version of the Honeynet Project’s high-interaction Capture-HPC client honeypot, which the organization last year used to study over 300,000 URLs from around 150,000 hosts for malicious intent. But this new client honeypot is 500 percent faster, and collects network traffic for all client-server interactions. The new client has many potential uses. It can be deployed as an intrusion detection sensor on a Website or as a pure honeypot to capture and vet all URLs that arrive via email, for instance.
