    Unhappy Building a simple honeypot in Windows



    I'm doing a project basically on implementing a Honeypot in Window-based.

    http://www.giac.org/practical/GSEC/F...khman_GSEC.pdf
    (I'm trying to follow the whole thing here)


    I can't install Snort 2.1 (which i've downloaded from the net) into my Win2K OS.
    Could be the windows that can't read the files. Or do I really need a Linux??? But i want
    to do it all in Window-based.

    I need help here. Can someone please advise? Please guide me.
    I just need to build a honeypot and then i'll have do analysis based on ACID.
    (means i'll need real time hacking and then i'll do the analysis)

    I'm a newbie in this honeypot field although i know what honeypot is.(I read so much about it)
    Besides i need to demo this project in my college lab.

    Please....it really really URGENT...
    Cheers mate!

    Where did you download snort from? There is a chance you brought down the linux version. Anyhow, check out this link, it has a good writeup on installing snort on a Win OS.

    previously i've download the Snort for Linux..oopss..
    Well, now i've download the Snort for Windows and
    followed exactly everything that was written on the site that you've gave me.

    But another major problem is that how can i link my Honeypot to this Snort?
    Means how can i read all the incoming traffic to my Honeypot??

    Cheers!

    Snort will put the network interface into promiscueus mode and is able to see *all* traffic on that network segment (unless you're on a switch).

    I'm currently under my college network.
    I'm connected to a switch in my hostel.

    So do i have to contact my network administrator to give me a private IP?
    And do i need any software to control/monitor my Honeypot?

    Pls advise..

    Cheers

    You could put a hub in your dorm room. Then put both the honeypot and the IDS (snort boxen) on the hub, and then snort could sniff all traffic to the honeypot.

    Thanks souleman.

    Any idea how can i get people to hack my honeypot?
    Esp. when i'm under my college network which means they have to hack them first
    to reach to my honeypot... ???
    Pls advice..

    Can you work with your college to get your honeypot located in their DMZ (if they have one). That way it would be visible on the internet.
