GSoC Update

Yesterday the results of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) were released and the Honeynet Project will mentor nine students during the summer who work on different projects: http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/honeynet. More information is also available at the Honeynet Project GSoC site.

I'm happy to mentor Lukas Rist, who will work on Glastopf. The goal of the project is to learn more about attacks by emulating vulnerabilities in web applications ("We have two goals: First, collecting and analyzing data and second, trying to inform compromised web page owner. Actually we are mainly collecting Remote File Inclusion attacks, but others will follow."). The source code is available at http://trac.1durch0.de/trac and will be improver during the GSoC period.

  1. [glastopf] Projekt beim GSoC

    Lukas Projekt ist beim GSoC angenommen worden. ...und noch erfreulicher ist, dass Thorsten Holz sein Mentor sein wird. Besser hätte es nicht kommen können... Ich wünsche Lukas viel Erfolg, und freue mich auf die neuen Revisionen !

    Are smart phone applications vulnerable to these types of attacks? And if so, are there any plans on emulating vulnerabilities in smart phone applications. I have not heard of any attacks on smart phones but I do open e-mails with mine. If there are not any threats now then I am sure there will be soon.

    The Honeynet Project is a leading international security research organization, dedicated to investigating the latest attacks and developing open source security tools to improve Internet security. The organization continues to be on the cutting edge of security research by working to analyze the latest attacks and educating the public about threats to information systems across the world. Such efforts are extremely necessary to ensure a safe E-commerce marketplace in today’s internet world.
