First-Ever Public Honeynet Project Security Workshop - Slides Online

christian.seifert — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 12:26:23 -0500

Folks, we had a great day at the first-ever public Honeynet Project Security Workshop yesterday with many excellent presentations by our members from around the globe. The presentations ranged from deep technical dives around shellcode detection and mobile malware reverse engineering to views on social dynamics of attackers and ethics of computer security research.

Further, we hosted a small capture-the-flag/forensic challenge competition, which received plentiful participation - especially with the younger crowd.

We hope that everybody enjoyed the workshop. If you were not able to make it to the workshop this year, we have attached the slides to this blog post. Hope to see you again in 2012.

Carl Pulley, a loyal follower of our Forensic Challenges, has written up an analysis on how could one determine the Apache version that generated the logs. His analysis can be found at http://acme-labs.org.uk/news/2011/01/20/apache2-version-analysis/ and http://acme-labs.org.uk/news/2011/01/21/apache2-version-analysis-data-visualisation/. Check it out!

New version of honeypot monitoring tool Qebek available

christian.seifert — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 12:16:37 -0600

Folks, Chengyu Song has been busy the last few weeks and made some upgrades to the honeypot monitoring tool Qebek. He has ported it from QEMU 0.9.1 to QEMU 0.13.0. As a result, Qebek's performance (boot time) is better and it no longer requires gcc 3.4. You can check it out

svn co https://projects.honeynet.org/svn/sebek/virtualization/qebek/trunk/

If you don't know what Qebek is or how to use it, take a look at our whitepaper at http://honeynet.org/papers/KYT_qebek.
