Hi there, hope all is well..

Last week, I’ve been given opportunity to learn on configuring and play around with Dionaea, the successor for nepenthes. It’s been great honor for a newbie like me to join the training and learn together with other staffs.

To begin with, I’m actually new to this.. With Nepenthes, I just managed / able to install and configure the program, and never really had chance to understand how the program works, and don’t have many experience with it (one of the reason is because I’m tooo lazy, yes, I admit it :-p). Install, configure, and put in public IP at my home.. and waits for some alerts to come out..

For Dionaea, I’ve followed the tutorial at their main page http://dionaea.carnivore.it/ , and managed to install / configure all the dependencies.. Once installed, I try to test with some exploits / nmapping .. cool also have Http server under /opt/dionaea/var/dionaea/wwwroot , for fast http server. Frankly speaking, during the training, I can’t catch all of the explanations , the codes (since i’m a N0ob in programming), and bla2.. But I’m amazed by how the program works.. they( the developers) must be some kind of beautiful mind person for developing this ;-p

I’ve done my installation/configuration on top of Ubuntu 9.04.. This shouldn’t be problem for *buntu and Debian users.. other distros I don’t know, haven’t try.

If you would like to try it out:
