Managing a Honeypot (O'ReillyNet)
O'ReillyNet covers
the use of honeypots. "It's no secret that many intruders choose
their victims by scanning large chunks of addresses and searching for
services vulnerable to existing tools and exploits. This can be an
effective approach, although there are still some problems for
intruders. People employed in IT security must trace bug trackers and the
appearance of new exploits. Even open source code cannot guarantee that the
good guys will find vulnerabilities before the bad guys do."

GPL license Posted Oct 2, 2006 10:13 UTC (Mon) by jhs (guest, #12429) [Link] The article says the license is BSD, but it links to the project home page: http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/honeyd/ which states that the license is GPL.
(Which is good, so now we can expect a GPLv3-related fork and instantly double the honeypot research out there!)
