Honeybee released
Honeybee Released: Thomas Apel created a tool for automatically generation plug-ins for honeyd based on the behavior of real servers for his diploma thesis called Honeybee. “For Honeypots to be effective they have to simulate a wide variety of network services. Generating such simulations by hand is a daunting task. An automated system for fingerprinting known servers for common network protocols like Telnet, SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, FTP and HTTP would facilitate deployment of varying honeypots trendemously.Honeybee is such a tool. It can semi-automatically create emulators of network server applications. The resulting emulators can be used together with the honeypot application Honeyd. The emulators should be able to withstand the most common fingerprinting attempts. Honeybee consists of two parts: A scanner and a generic emulators per protocol. The Honeybee scanner talks to a real server and extracts its personality. This personalities are stored in database files and are used to control the generic emulator. The generic emulators use Honeyd’s interface for Python plug-in. Further Information is available at http://lufgi4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/diplomas/show/6.
