Honeyd 0.6a: Post-Defense/Bug-Fix Release

I am pleased to announce a new release of Honeyd:

HONEYD 0.6a: POST-DEFENSE/BUG-FIX RELEASE:

Honeyd is a small daemon that creates virtual hosts on a network. The hosts can be configured to run arbitrary services, and their personality can be adapted so that they appear to be running certain operating systems.

Honeyd provides a framework thats helps with many security problems. It can be instrumented to automatically detect worms, to provide network decoys to deter adversaries, wireless honeypots, threat detection and assessment, etc. Honeyd also helps with spam prevention and Internet-in-the-Box network simulations.

Version 0.6 includes many feature improvements and bug fixes:

  Option to drop fraction of SYN packets to reduce load.

  Generate ICMP Unreachable Codes for network topologies.

  Some compile issues on different architectures.
