My little place on the internet...
This is my blog with personal and technical articles. My Blog for me is primarily a playground to do somethings with the server I have running via my DSL connection. And in my humble opinion it looks better every time I tinker with it.
Nepenthes Honeypot
I’ve been running Nepenthes on my system since August 10th and I’ve been able to capture until now 44 infections with various kinds of malware. Of these 44 infections there are 28 unique versions off malware. Unfortunately my Internet access provider is still filtering my traffic from the internet on ports 445 and 139 to my honeypot. If this wasn’t the case the number off infections made to this machine would possible be a lot higher then the 44 infections currently in the database. The version of nepenthes I’m running is the one that comes out of the Subversion repository because this one has postgreSQL connection for storing al the data in my database. Most of the samples I collect this way are submitted to some antivirus vendors and to the database of Offensive Computing.
