Beeswarm - Active IDS made easy
Beeswarm is an active IDS project that provides easy configuration, deployment and management of honeypots and clients. The system operates by luring the hacker into the honeypots by setting up a deception infrastructure where deployed drones communicate with honeypots and intentionally leak credentials while doing so. The project has been release in a beta version, a stable version is expected within three months.
