Two of my favourite (so far) non-bot script kiddie attacks against my Kippo SSH honeypot.

During DrupalCon back in April, I got interviewed by Kent from Lullabot for his Drupal Voices podcast series.

I've been running a honeypot on a server running Nepenthes, which is apt-get installable on Debian Lenny at time of writing.

Nepenthes works by starting up a bunch of emulated vulnerable services on all the typical ports you'd expect. It then monitors and reports on automated sniffers and malware attacks that think they're delivering payload to a real service.

The server has been running for 24 hours - here are my stats using the Submissions2stat.py log parser by Andrew Waite.

I recently led a live DrupalDojo webinar on the Aegir hosting system.

The session was designed in lieu of potentially presenting a future series of Aegir-related dojo sessions that progress in terms of topic complexity (i.e beginner through to expert).

For this reason, the session was largely an introduction to the system and how to use it, with some 'under the hood' peeks where possible for those users who are comfortable with the terminology and process already.

The Aegir project has seen vigorous development leading up to, during and after DrupalCon San Francisco April 2010.

Unfortunately due to the volcano ash from Iceland, lead developer and Aegir author Adrian Rossouw got marooned in Frankfurt and was unable to join the rest of the team at Moscone.
