Honeyd Fixed and Ported to Windows
I could not be more excited. Years ago, Michael Davis ported an early version of Honeyd (www.honeyd.org) to Windows as part of a Honeyd contest. It was an admirable attempt, but contained so many bugs that it really couldn't be used as a proper honeypot. As Windows changed versions, the older, ported, version of Honeyd remained the same, with bugs and less features than it's Linux/Unix/BSD counterpart. Every since my book, Honeypots for Windows, was published, I've been recommending Honeyd on Linux or OpenBSD for users who want to use Honeyd. Since most Windows users don't have nix skills, it was a lot to ask.
It was announced today that Jesper Jurcenoks with netVigilance has ported the latest, and feature rich version of Honeyd, and it is available for free download (registration is required).
They have also created an optional $99 GUI configurator. If you're new to Honeyd and want to have less problems, buy the gui and support the vendor.
You can download the Windows ported version of Honeyd here.
