The Honeynet Project began in 1999 as an informal mailing list of a small group of individuals, but the group soon realized that no single person had all the experience necessary to analyze the information collected from attacks. Honeynet Project founder Lance Spitzner is a senior security architect for Sun Microsystems and a faculty member of the SANS Institute. His love for tactics first began in the Army, where he served in the Rapid Deployment Force. Following his military service, he earned his MBA and became involved in the world of information security, exchanging his live ammunition for the honeypot, a decoy computer. Spitzner is the author of "Honeypots: Tracking Hackers" and recently appeared on the cover of the March/April issue of IEEE Security & Privacy magazine with a feature article on his project. He took some time out to talk about The HoneyNet Project, an organization that builds online traps to catch and research how hackers, crackers and black hats do their dirty work. This HoneyNet Project is key to understanding how and why hackers do what they do and is helping governmental homeland security, corporate security and home network security.
