Google provides an unbiased index of all things public, vulnerable or not. This index provides attackers a convenient path for exploitation, while GHH provides the convenient path to embarrassment. Version 1.1 is a compilation of many updates including: centralized logging (MySQL), advanced proxy detection, spoofed file extensions and new pre-built honeypots. These features allow GHH to respond to advances in search enging hacking.”

The European Network of Affined Honeypots: A new EU funded honeynet group has started, made up mostly of Greek and Dutch members to date. “NoAH is an EU co-funded project which will take a step towards achieving an active and more complete approach to networks and systems security. The goal of NoAH is to produce a design study and perform the necessary technical work towards the development of an infrastructure for security monitoring, based on honeypot technology. They are looking for people who are in the area of systems administration, security or research to help them by completing their questionnaire. The questions are not mandatory and can be completed anonymously.” For more information see: http://www.fp6-noah.org/
