HoneyBow v0.1.0 Release

The Chinese Honeynet Project is proud to announce the release of HoneyBow sensor v0.1.0, a malware collection tool based on the high interaction honeypot principle, published under GPL license. HoneyBow sensor is released under the name of mwcollect.org, and it can be integrated with nepenthes (based on the low interaction honeypot principle) and the mwcollect Alliance’s GOTEK architecture, to achieve a most integrated malware collection solution.

HoneyBow's value on collection of zero-day malware has been demonstrated through practical deployment and in-the-wild malware collection by Chinese Honeynet Project. For instance, last year’s Dasher.B and the latest Mocbot have successfully been caught.
