RE: Setting up honeyd on winxp sp2

["Gentile, Rob" <RGentile () ChristianaCare org>]

Has anyone has tried honeyd under colinux as a workaround for XP?

( Colinux allows you to run linux on an existing Windows XP pc, essentially
as an 'application'. It doesn't change your booting nor your hard disk
partitions) 
http://www.colinux.org/ )


It was trivial to install and run nmap under coLinux on XP. Nmap worked like
a charm.




I haven't had time yet, but my goal is to see if honeyd works under coLinux.





It's certainly  worth a try....

To the get most of Honeyd, you really need to run it on a Unix system.
There have been several critical improvements that are not reflected
in the current Windows port.
