Honeyd evolves

Honeyd v0.7 has shipped. The improvements over the version I deployed in 2001 are substantial.

What is new

  • Better OS-fingerprint emulation matching nmap's latest signatures.
  • More personas (Cisco, BSD variants, embedded systems).
  • Better integration with high-interaction backends.
  • Improved logging.

For my own deployment, I will upgrade in the next maintenance window. The capabilities make better deception possible.

More as the year develops.
