Just like the phoenix, the French Honeynet project resurrected: thanks to attackers not taking any break, making us willing to understand what's going on. The project re-started in December 2008.

Founded in 1999, The Honeynet Project is an international, non-profit (501c3) research organization dedicated to improving the security of the Internet at no cost to the public. With Chapters around the world, our volunteers are firmly committed to the ideals of OpenSource. Our goal, simply put, is to make a difference. We accomplish this goal in the following three ways.
