hey guys,

does anyone know how to add alerting capabilities to a honeypot? 

i basically need a rough idea of what i have to use and how to do it.

The answer will depend on what infrastructure you have in place, and what
sort of alert you want to send.  SNMP Traps, sending an e-mail, beeping a
pager, sending a text message to a cell phone, etc....  You'll have to
find whatever API is needed to talk to your infrastructure, and you probably
want to write a stand-alone app that does a "Hello, World!" alert.  Once you
get to that point, add a call to your code at the appropriate points in the
honeypot code.
