NetBait Honeypot

What is a NetBait?
NetBait is a proprietary technology developed by NetBait, Inc. to prevent, detect and analyze intruders' attacks on companies' networks. NetBait is based on the concept of a "Honeypot," which means that it is a decoy which lures intruders away from actual network data and instead gives them "bait" with false information. NetBait is a set of sophisticated technologies made seamless to license, configure, maintain and adapt to changes in any organization's network security needs.

What type of Honeypot is NetBait?
There are two general types of Honeypot systems: production for improving security and research for learning more about the sources of threats. NetBait can be configured to act as either Production or Research, or a combination of both.

How does NetBait Service work?
The technology behind NetBait is a distributed network of multiple NetBait Nodes independently communicating with our servers and performing attack traffic redirection. Among other things, this architecture allows clients to enjoy a number of wide-reaching benefits that include configuration simplicity, the highest level of resistance to intruder attacks, and low cost of ownership.

What are the hardware and software requirements for setting up a NetBait Host? 
There are no specific hardware or software requirements. The only thing you need is a Personal Computer (i386 will do) with a 1.44 floppy drive, 16MB+ RAM, a Network Interface Card and TCP/IP Internet connectivity. Practically any system up to 10 years old may be seamlessly transformed into a NetBait Host without any hardware or software preparation - just insert your NetBait floppy disk into floppy drive and reboot the PC.
