Honeyclient Project

A honeyclient is a dedicated host that drives specially instrumented applications to access remote servers to see if those servers are behaving in a malicious manner. Specifically, honeyclients can proactively detect exploits against client applications without known signatures.

The MITRE Honeyclient Project strives to educate the public about client application exploits and their attack mechanisms. This project is a Perl-based open source framework, designed to create and manage implementations of Honeyclient systems.
