Hello friends,

I am very much new to linux environment and I have a final year project of emulating services on Honeyd. I don't know how to install honeyd on Centos virtual PC. I will be very obliged if someone guide me.

I tried to install honeyd as mentioned on different websites but it is constantly giving me errors. I will be very greatful if someone help me in this regards Please Please/

- Which Centos release and patch level?
- Which kernel version?
- Which installation instructions? (locations)
- Which Honeyd version and from where?
- What errors? (Post exact error messages)

Welcome to LQ. .. .. ..

The SVN version seems to compile on any Linux, with any compiler.

svn checkout http://honeyd.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ honeyd-read-only
cd honeyd/ && autoreconf -vfi && ./configure

Required : libpcap-devel libevent-devel libdnet-devel
'libdnet-devel' is in the "Rpmforge repo"
https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using
..

Also : LQ Search → "Tag Name" = honeyd
..

Thanks for your replies.

As I told you I am very much new to Linux and I don't know much about Linux and HoneyD. I read details about honeyd.
We have Centos 5.0 images in our lab and I am running it on Virtual PC.
I have no idea about these questions which you asked.
Which kernel version?
- Which installation instructions? (locations)
- Which Honeyd version and from where?
- What errors? (Post exact error messages)

What I will do is I will follow readme file of the link which KNUDFL mentioned and if i have problem i will ask you guys. Please I have 2 months for this project and I have to do it. I will be really greatful if you guys guide me. Feel free to suggest.

My project details are

.-Investigate honeypot software (Honeyd)
.-create and implement scripts for emulating wide variety of servers, hosts and hardware.
.-develop logging software which records the IP addresses of attackers.
.-develop reporting software for informing system administrators of attacks.

Please comment what are the views on this project.

I am willing to learn and trying to install honeyd but uptill now no success. Just need support and guidance. Thanks in advance.

Brother,
I have to do it on Linux environment. That is our project requirement. I would be greatfull if you can share anything which can guide me how to install honeyd in Linux.

svn checkout http://honeyd.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ honeyd-read-only

cd honeyd/ && autoreconf -vfi && ./configure && make ; su ; make install



The above is all it takes.
The honeyd/ folder is inside the honeyd-read-only/ in /home/<name>/

You will of course first have to install the prerequisites :
1) su ,
2) yum install subversion libpcap-devel libevent-devel libdnet-devel
..

Hello,

I couldnt find read only file in honeyd folder.
These are the only files I can see in honeyd folder
honeyd.8
honeyd.c
honeyd.h
honeyd_overload.c
honeyd_overload.h
honeydctl.1
honeydctl.c
honeydstats.c
honeydstats.h
honeydstats_main.c

And can you confirm pre-requisite means

libevent
- libdnet
- libpcap
- libpcre

These Library files I have to Install?

I am doing my work on VMWare with Centos 5 images. Can you please guide me as a beginer. I know I sound frustrating and annoying but I am new to this and I hope these forum users can guide me with this installation.

Thanks a lot in advance. I am really sorry to sound annoying but I hope you understand my situation.

Thanks

No.

Start with this : 1) su , <your-password>
2) yum install libpcap-devel libevent-devel libdnet-devel pcre-devel

And if you haven't installed 'subversion', then : 3) yum install subversion
4) exit
5) svn checkout http://honeyd.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ honeyd-read-only

6) cd honeyd-read-only/honeyd/ : And see 126 items : 118 files + 8 folders.
7) autoreconf -vfi && ./configure && make ; su ; make install
..
Good luck ! .. .. ..

One more dumb question but I am trying to run these commands on VMware on Centos 5.0 is it alright?

Do you have any file in which there is a complete installation detail of how to install and run Honeyd on Linux ??

Complete installation : Is described in post # 8.
What is the problem ? No internet connection ? Or ?

Honeyd can also be installed with # yum install honeyd
.. from the Rpmforge repo https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using



Using honeyd : The manual is accessed with the command 'man honeyd'
or online http://linux.die.net/man/8/honeyd

And please Google .. man honeyd .. , and: .. honeyd documentation ..
..

Dear Expert.

Thanks for your help . Today I followed step by step which you told and saw something happening. But at the end this message came.. Can you please help what is this

configure: error : dnet-config not found
Password:

I entered my admin password and it comes out to command prompt. Let me tell you also Honeyd folder is created automatically on my Virtual Desktop on which I am running centos.

Can you please guide me how to install arpd in it? and how can test honeyd?

Thanks for your help, now i feel something is going on and sorry for replying late as I was busy with my other assignments and test.

Which command was used, when you got that message ?

And is 'libdnet-devel' installed ? Will provide /usr/bin/dnet-config

About arpd : # yum install arpd

Using honeyd : Suggest .. Please use the 'LQ Search' and Google.
( Never used honeyd. I mostly do some software builds only.)
..

after running this command i get error.

autoreconf -vfi && ./configure && make ; su ; make install
