[ubuntu-us-ma] Honynet

[Chrystal Bonner]

I heard about it on NPR they are a non profit and they do some very  
good work.  Here is a snippet from their website about them.  They say  
it much better than I can explain it.  Check them out, I thought for  
sure you might have heard of them.  Tell me what you think f them.

About The Honeynet Project
Founded in 1999, The Honeynet Project is an international, non-profit  
(501c3) research organization dedicated to improving the security of  
the Internet at no cost to the public. With Chapters around the world,  
our volunteers are firmly committed to the ideals of OpenSource. Our  
goal, simply put, is to make a difference. We accomplish this goal in  
the following three ways.

Awareness We raise awareness of the threats and vulnerabilities that  
exist in the Internet today. Many individuals and organizations do not  
realize they are a target, nor understand who is attacking them, how,  
or why. We provide this information so people can better understand  
they are a target, and understand the basic measures they can take to  
mitigate these threats. This information is provided through our Know  
Your Enemy series of papers.

Information For those who are already aware and concerned, we provide  
details to better secure and defend your resources. Historically,  
information about attackers has been limited to the tools they use. We  
provide critical additional information, such as their motives in  
attacking, how they communicate, when they attack systems and their  
actions after compromising a system. We provide this service through  
our Know Your Enemy whitepapers and our Scan of the Month challenges.

Tools For organizations interested in continuing their own research  
about cyber threats, we provide the tools and techniques we have  
developed. We provide these through our Tools Site.
