Honeypot Network?

Energizeer · 06-15-2007, 04:07 AM

How do? I recently started a new job with a large company in the networking dept. I have been assigned the task of setting up a honey pot type network to assess the risks to the org. I have full ussage of a room filled with Proliant servers, disk arrays, firewalls, hubs, workstations and some things that I don't even know what they are.
My problem is that this is a little over my head in that I have only done Network Theory in college and it's a different ball game all together when things are for real...
I would like to get some suggestions from you guys on how best I should tackle this and maybe if anyone out there has useful links to websites/tutorials/videos about organisational networking etc..?

Thanks!

P.S What are the legal implications for setting up honey pots in europe?
What is the best honeypot monitering software out there?

I don't know much about Honeypots but I found this which may be helpful:

Basically, you are building a system that can be compromised by hackers but you learn their methods by using tracking software.
