New KYE paper: Malicious Web Servers

Tuesday, August 14. 2007
The Honeynet Project & Research Alliance are excited to announce the release of a new paper in our Know Your Enemy series, "KYE: Malicious Web Servers". In this paper, we take an in-depth look at malicious web servers that attack web browsers, and we evaluate several defensive strategies that can be employed to counter this threat of client-side attacks. All the malicious web servers identified in this study were found with our client honeypot Capture-HPC.

Besides providing the information of this paper, we also publish the complete data set. We hope that Capture-HPC and the data enable the security community to easily become involved in studying the phenomenon of malicious servers.
