Capture-HPC is an innovative security product that is able to find and investigate the increasing problem of client-side computer attacks. This new software release aims at further improving the speed and scalability of the software allowing for large scale deployments of client honeypots. It is written and distributed under the GNU General Public License, v2. Capture-HPC is a computer security product that allows anyone to: investigate client-side computer attacks; security researchers to find and study malicious servers; virus and malware researchers to collect malware pushed by malicious servers; network administrators to monitor their systems for client-side attacks; and web site operators to monitor their web sites for unauthorized modifications with client- side attack code.

The Honeywall CDROM is a bootable CD that installs onto a hard drive and comes with all the tools and functionality for you to implement data capture, control, and analysis for multiple honeypot deployments. Changes since version 1.3 include:
    * Transition to Hflow2 (http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~cviecco/oscode/hflow2.html).
    * Updated Walleye to properly integrate with Hflow2 data schema.

  • New Tool Release: Nebula is a data analysis tool that automatically generates intrusion signatures from attack traces. It runs as a daemon that processes data submitted from honeypots. New signatures are published as snort rules and can be used to defend a network from future intrusion attempts. Nebula is developed by the Giraffe Chapter.

  • New Tool: We are excited to announce the release of the new tool Tracker developed by the Honeynet Project Australian Chapter. Tracker facilitates the identification of abnormal DNS activity. It will find domains that are resolving to a large number of IP's in a short period of time then continue to track those hostname->IP mappings untill either the hostname nolonger responds or the user decides to stop tracking that hostname. Really efficient at finding fast-flux domains and other dodgy A-Record rotations.
