DShield Honeypot Update: New Tweaks, Same Old Chaos!
DShield honeypot changes are here, but don’t panic! Most users won’t need to lift a finger, except maybe to update a script or two. The new web honeypot now collects POST data, opening a treasure trove of data opportunities. Just remember, with great data comes great responsibility… to manage those log files!
Hot Take:
Ah, DShield, always keeping us on our toes with your honeypot shenanigans! Just when we thought we had our cyber mousetraps perfectly baited, you go and move the cheese. But hey, who doesn’t love a good game of “find the log file”? Now, with a sprinkle of customization and a dash of data analysis, we’re about to make these honeypots the talk of the cyber town. Just remember, folks, when in doubt, script it out!
Key Points:
- DShield honeypot changes allow for more customization and data analysis.
- The
dshield.inifile is being relocated, but a symbolic link will keep things running smoothly. - A new web honeypot option minimizes local logs to save space, but requires tweaks for data retention.
- Local logging is crucial for high-volume data analysis, as demonstrated by an impressive 60GB of logs in one day.
- Custom bash scripts and cron jobs are the heroes of honeypot management, keeping logs tidy and manageable.
