Deploying Honeypots for Home Network Monitoring

[bart64 at usa.net (Chris Simpson)]

I used Nepenthes (http://nepenthes.mwcollect.org/)  on a VM and  
"caught" some neat stuff. It was easy to setup and monitor. I ordered  
a separate DSL line to keep it clear from my home network. Also ran  
some unpatched Windows VM's on the same box. Only ran them when I was  
around so I could stop anything that looked really bad, which I did a  
few times.

Best Regards,

Chris
