Ever wondered exactly who was attacking your network and why? A new freebie tool from the 
HoneyNet Project will provide a dashboard of data that may help you get to the bottom of attack attempts.
The new HoneySnap data analysis tool, which will be released before Thanksgiving, is aimed at enterprises as well as the traditional research types, Dark Reading has learned. Honeypot technology hasn’t been widely deployed among mainstream enterprises because it’s perceived as inviting trouble and most companies don’t have the resources to manage such a project. (See Enterprises Still Not Sweet on Honeypots.)
But Ralph Logan, vice president of the HoneyNet Project, says some of the largest ISPs, financial institutions, and software development companies — including antivirus vendors — all use Honeynet’s existing HoneyWall data capture tool already. "It’s everywhere," he says. "But everyone doesn’t admit they have it… It’s a black-radar technology." Dark Reading - Desktop Security - Free Tool Will Help Analyze Attacks - Security News Analysis
