Description

'HoneySink (sinkhole) is a program designed to emulate existing services such as DNS, FTP, HTTP, and IRC. Its purpose is only to log relevant parts of these protocols to aid administrators in analyzing network based attacks. This sinkhole is capable of supporting multiple different protocols at once, and allows virtual servers by grouping clients into classes based on IP.
