In all reality, Honeyd for Windows doesn't really work anymore. Michael Davis did us a great service by porting it from Linux to Windows back in the day, but since then it has been nearly a dead project. It doesn't work well on Windows at all, has major routing issues, etc. My book, Honeypots for Windows, has a few chapters on it. I loved it. But, yes, it's time to use Honeyd on Linux or BSD if you've got the skills. It works great there. Or try Kfsensor or PatriotBox instead. KFSensor is the best Windows honeypot on the market, although a bit pricy for the casual user. It's a great eval though. And try any of the excellent honeypot discussion sites to find dozens of other free honeypots to play with. Roger ***************************************************************** *Roger A.

I am new to Honeypot technology. After reading through honeypot related literature, I wanted to try some hands-on. I decided to try out honeyd for Windows. The papers suggested that honeyd for windows can be downloaded from http://www.securityprofiling.com/honeyd/honeyd.shtml
Honeyd for Windows has not been updated for a long time, the currently available version is 0.5a. Honeyd for Linux/*BSD is already at version 1.5a. So I would strongly suggest to try the Linux/*BSD version...
However this link seems to be not responding. Is there any other place
from where I can download honeyd for Windows.
You could try http://www.datanerds.net/~mike/binaries/ Cheers, Thorsten
