Honeynets expanding their capabilities

William Jackson writes GCN.com:

A global consortium of cybersecurity researchers has released a new tool to make it easier to track and analyze the activities of hackers.

The tool, released in May by the Honeynet Project, is a honeynet gateway called "Roo" and is available as a free download.

A honeypot is a baiting system built to be compromised by hackers and monitored to observe their activities. A honeynet is a collection of honeypots. The Honeynet Project is a volunteer organization developing and using open-source tools to expand the use and awareness of honeynets and their capabilities in identifying online threats.
