My Notes from The Last HOPE

Here are my notes from The Last HOPE. I started taking notes late, so unfortunately I don't have notes from all the talks I attended.

* An Evening with Berferd
* Low interaction honeypots: Nepenthes, honeyd, Honeytrap
* Monitor both Honeyd and Nepenthes with Prelude IDS

* SGUIL
* BASE
* SnortSnarf

Remember, tcpdump (a common packet sniffer) writes data in pcap format which ngrep, WireShark, or Snort can process.

* Flowroute + Asterisks can be used to unmask Caller ID (I tested Mitnick's setup by calling his phone... my blocked number showed up!)
