Sounds good, thanx again...
(I am going to look into the Honey Pot and may as well go for it. However, if anyone has any other suggestions for a great project. In case I get bored with the honey pot or come across another machine. I am always open to suggestions. Thanks again.)
Info Tech Geek: I'm currently planning out a similar project for a honeypot.
My hardware (at first) will only be a dual pII 266 with 128mb memory. Since I don't have any production boxes to mirror, I'm just going to create one that looks like it has some useful info on it. Fake web page, but update it often enough, ftp server with useless "tasty" info, fake documents, make fake email, fake user activity, and whatever else I can dream up.
I'm going to have to brush up on some scripting though... as there is no way I can do all this manually.
I got the book that MsM is talking about along with the "Know your enemy" book that amazon recommends too.
They are both GREAT books, and I'm learning a lot. I still have a lot to learn though.
I'm going to start with just the one box and then add to it as I go along making the project bigger everytime.
I have quite a few low end boxes (all betweek 200-500mhz) to work with, so a variety of OS's and etc.
I know that they require a lot of planning and attention... so I'm going to work small until this summer, when I'll have more time to devote to it.
I just wish that I had other people around me to work on it too. Its kind of hard taking on a project like this yourself... as they will require attention all the time... :( I might have to place a little bulletin at school to see if others are interested in something like this...
Good luck! Let me know what kind of ideas you come up with and I'll do the same if you'd like. Its nice to have other people to exchange ideas/info with when doing projects that you are new to. I'm already excited about it, I just have to find the time to devote to it. (damn school and work!)
