Thanks for the help, finally got it to work

Did Adam’s suggestion help? He mentions a possible good solution. If honeyd can’t properly talk to the dhcp server then it won’t be able to properly get an address. If this doesn’t help let me know.

As far as the honeyd.conf it doesn’t matter where that file is located. If it’s not in the current directory when you run the command then you’ll have to let honeyd know the full path. So if honeyd.conf is in /one/two then your honeyd commmand will have to be “honeyd -f /one/two/honeyd.conf”

You only need another machine for testing. So in my case I ran honeyd in backtrack inside a VM but I needed to port scan and ping from a different VM for everything to show up properly.

As far as installing honeyd apt-get would be the best solution but you can also install from a tar. I would just follow honeyd’s steps for installing the tar. I would have to see what error message you’re getting to know during the install process to properly help you.

I ran into the same problem as you. If by chance your running VirtualBox and having this problem you have to change your VirtualBox Network Settings.

Change the Promiscuous Mode to Allow All. After I made that change I was able to get a DHCP address. Hope that helps.

Yes, I am running as root user. I also tried to use another account with the sudo command to execute honeyd, but yielding the same error message.
Thanks.

i need one more help from you….if possible please tell me how to install honeyd in details using tar file….

It will be great help for me….reply ASAP

Thanks for replying me and supporting me……

Travis … i m new to honeypot and want to install honeyd…i will tell me my configuration and problem…
I m trying to install honeyd in Backtrack Linux Vmware machine …
when i use “apt-get install honeyd” its not working…after that i download tar file and installed it.
After installation is complete …. will you tell me where i have to create this honeyd.conf file.

About my network….my backtrack machine is having 192.168.5.100 IP address…and for honeyd do i need any more physical machine….?

Sorry. I looked back at saw that I didnt actually categorize my 3rd article of doing static IP’s http://travisaltman.com/honeypot-honeyd-tutorial-part-3-static-ips/ hopefull that should get you started. As far as interfaces that you see in the configuration files such as eth0, eth1, etc, all those interfaces are real interfaces in the Linux OS. Hope this helps if not let me know.

Are you running honeyd as the root user? If not give that a shot and see if that fixes the issue.

And the interface u mentioned in your tutorial is virtual or it must be present in real.
