Subject:Passing a text file in Redhat 9 to honeyd

james_cwy · 11-07-2003, 01:14 AM

HI there.
Lets say I have a text file with some content in it-a.txt

I want to pass this file to honeyd to use it as a template.
Honeyd is a low interactive virtual honeypot.
Now to run honeyd, the command is:.honeyd -p nmap.prints -f honeyd.conf 192.168.1.0/24.
Now I want to replace the contents of *.conf to the content that I have in the a.txt.
How can I do this?Pls help.

Thanks a million.Appreciate it
James

What is the purpose of this "a.txt"? If it's an interaction script, then shouldn't it go in the scripts subdir and be referenced in the honeyd.conf?

Lets say a.txt contains the info that is needed by honeyd to create the virtual hosts.
I would like the contents of honeyd.conf to be replaced by the contents of a.txt.

Maybe you should elaborate on the circumstances that prohibit you from just replacing the conf. I'm dense and particularly low on ESP.

I don't quite get you as I am only a newbie. Hope you can explain more. Thanks

Let's cut this short.
Tell us why you can't replace honeyd.conf with a.txt.
Post honeyd.conf and a.txt.

I think you got me wrong.
What I would like to know is how can I replace the contents of honeyd.conf with the contents in a.txt file for example?
Say a.txt has 123456789 Numbers.
I want honeyd.conf to contain 123456789 Numbers as well.
Can I automate this without doing too much typing?
I am sorry if I had give a bad illustration of what I would like to ask. Millions of apologies

If you know a.txt is a complete config, then just "cat a.txt > honeyd.conf" to overwrite. If a.txt is a partial config, then you could write a script to only change part of honeyd.conf.

I am sorry if I had give a bad illustration of what I would like to ask.
Posting honeyd.conf and a.txt still would be better, or post a good example.
