    | I'd like to dig a little deeper into these SubSeven scans I'm
    | getting all
    | the time. Does anyone know of some code that will listen on
    | the port, and
    | pretend to be a SubSeven server? Logging the comamnds sent?
    | Back Office
    | Friendly does something like this for Back Orifice. I'm
    | flexible on the
    | platform it can run on.

    I think if you want to test the SubSeven traffic in the strictest honeypot
    fashion, then putting something that simulates a SubSeven server is not
    really the way to go. If you want to see what someone really does, I would
    suggest actually running SubSeven for real!

    If you get some el-random Windows box and install a SubSeven server on there
    with default passwords so that they can get in easily. Make sure that the
    box is on a totally untrusted network and cannot do any damage even if
    completely owned. Then find some way of monitoring the traffic going to it,
    and log that traffic, most trojans like SubSeven have their commands sent in
    clear text so this is a perfectly valid way to check.

    There are a few ways you could check the traffic. Place another machine
    infront of your victim box, running as a transparent bridge with logging
    facilities enabled. Or put a machine on the mirror port of the switch that
    you are plugged into and sniff the traffic. Or install victim windows box
    in something like VMWare on a Unix box, which can then sniff the inbound
    traffic :)

    Hope it helps
