Hi guys,

This is something that ive been interested in doing for a while now, but
haven't actually gotten round to it yet (work!).

Anyone have any suggested setups?

Would be interesting to here of any "HoneyMonkey's" that are OpenSource of
offer a trial download?

Cheers

My goal is malware classification and collection.

If you want malware, running a honeypot isn't going to get you much in
the way of "new" samples. 99% of the malware coming into any
environment is going to be delivered by drive-by-downloads. Running a
"regular" honeypot is going to get you stuff that is already fairly
well known (Conficker, SQL Slammer, etc). You'd be better off finding
a HoneyMonkey (I don't know if there is a free one out there) or
analyzing proxy logs for executable downloads. I netted a boat load of
stuff in my previous job following option B. It's always cool to get a
piece of malware that was created the same day you're analyzing it.

Another option, which I have not done, is analyzing your mail queue.
