Honeycomb: A System for Automated Signature Generation
Honeycomb is a system designed for the automated creation of signatures used in network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs). It achieves this by utilizing protocol analysis and pattern-detection techniques on traffic that is captured from honeypots.
It is particularly effective at identifying threats
It is particularly effective at identifying worms and can generate detailed signatures for recognized threats such as Slammer and Code Red.
The system can be utilized for signature detection
The system can be utilized to actively search for signatures in any type of traffic and has potential applications in detecting spam.
