The Honeywall CD-ROM

The Honeynet Project is a non-profit research organization of security professionals dedicated to information security on the Internet. For more than a year, Honeynet Project members have been quietly developing a tool to make honeynets faster to deploy and easier to maintain. The tool, called the Honeywall CD-ROM, is a bootable CD capable of installing and configuring a honeywall (the honeynet's control center) in a matter of minutes. Although the Honeywall CD-ROM's designers initially created it to facilitate honeynet deployments, the CD-ROM is customizable for use outside the honeynet environment to bolster the defense of production networks.
