Honeytrap: Trap attacks against tcp services

Filed under: Tools, Linux, Software — SecuNews @ 2:21 pm

It’s always great to have new tools to protect our assets from attackers and when those tools are free it’s even better (honeytrap is licenced under the GNU GPL licence).

Honeytrap is still a very new tool but it already provides neat services to its users by allowing to collects information regarding known or unknown network-based attacks and therefore provide early-warning information to the network/security administrator.

Honeytrap usage shouldn’t be a problem as the program is well documented. This software should also run on any “standand Unixish” operating system.

Just click here to download honeytrap! :-)
