Re: Does it really take so long to get a bite?

If you want some results fast, I suggest you setup a Windows box running a 
vulnerable version of IIS....your honeypot will get compromised in no 
time, believe me.

Other than that, try putting some more vulnerable services in you 
honeypot. It's also a good ideia to look into the explotation rate (in the 
wild) of the vulnerabilities you planted in the honeypot. Perhaps if you 
plant one or two from the "10 most exploited list", it wont take so long 
for your honeypot to be compromised.

We set up a honeynet two weeks ago.  So that its not too simple (didnt
want to just capture the first script kiddy), the only vulnerability on it
is an old openssh.

Watching the logs, the chkrootkit, the ids, the network traffic, etc, show
us nothing!  lots and LOTS of scans, mostly for nbname.

How long does it take to get a hit?  Previous reading and anecdotes said
that some boxes are compromised within 15 mins of being hooked up to the
network.
