LaBrea: "Sticky" Honeypot and IDS

LaBrea takes over unused IP addresses, and creates virtual servers that are attractive to worms, hackers, and other denizens of the Internet. The program answers connection attempts in such a way that the machine at the other end gets "stuck", sometimes for a very long time.

Supported platforms

LaBrea uses autoconf / automake as well as Dug Song's libdnet, it should easily port to other platforms.

Michael's LaBrea::Tarpit module for perl is cool. Check it out: here. (But see our FAQ page for more information.)

Being on the Bleeding edge

Like to live dangerously? You want to be right up there with the latest and greatest?

Then you just will not be happy until you have your very own CVS copy of the LaBrea sources:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/LaBrea get LaBrea

But maybe you just want to browse the source code: labrea cvs web access
