Hi Jon, I wasn't able to duplicate the 100% CPU utilization with either version of Sebek you mentioned. According to your stats, the only difference seems to be that I'm using Fedora Core 3 instead of 4. Have you been able to narrow down the problem any further? -Frank P Jon Andersen said the following on 5/31/2006 10:03 PM:
Hi, I have been experimenting with Sebek for the eventual purpose of research on current Internet worm threats. There is a technical problem that I haven't figured out yet. I have tried Sebek 3.0.4 and 2.1.5 under VMware Workstation 5.5.1 (guest OS Windows XP SP2, host OS Fedora Core 4), Both Sebek 3.0.4 and 2.1.5, after installation, configuration, and first reboot, are causing 100% CPU utilization in both the guest and host OS. Sebek is functioning enough that event packets do eventually show up on the Sebek server; however, the guest and host run so slowly that its not useful. Has anyone seen this pegged-CPU bug before? Any workarounds? If not, any recommendations of other Sebek-like tools that can be installed inside a virtual machine? Thanks,
