RE: honeynet as a virtual appliance

[ROPERT François <Francois.ROPERT () supinfo com>]

Hi,

In my opinion, it's useless, as you said it, there a ton of tutorials about
building virtual machines and people are free to do what they want with
their tools.
I see no need that the honeynet project lost time with this, people like you
by example, can already do it.
If you look at Linux distributions, many livecd are know used with knoppix
by many free users without the approval of a specific project.

Where the virtual appliance can be usefull is the theory of that users like
debugging or find vulns in a virtual machine but I'm not conveinced you have
to wait honeynet project to make on yourself, many tools are simply added in
ROO honeywall by example, you can test them without a ROO installation.


Cheers,

Objet : honeynet as a virtual appliance

Hello!
I was thinking that it wold be nice if the Honeynet wold be also
distributed as a Virtual Appliance. VMWare player is free and there
are a lot of tutorials on the internet about building a virtual
machine with open source software.
In the perspective of an open CVS, users can port honeynet
applications on favorite Linux distribution and share it with the
others. Also, with a virtual appliance, a lot of unexpected behavior
of software could be removed. What do you say?

Best regards,
George
