      Mwcollect - Malware Collector
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    DETAILS

    mwcollect is an easy solution to collect worms and other autonomous
    spreading malware in a non-native environment like FreeBSD or Linux. The
    first versions were used to collect binaries for botnet monitoring and
    bots are still what mwcollect is mostly used for collecting. Some people
    consider it a next generation honeypot, however that comparison often
    leads to the misunderstanding that computers running mwcollect can
    actually be infected with the malware - that is not the case!

    mwcollect is now licensed under the GPL, (c) by
    <http://www.honeynet.org/> Honeynet Project.

    You can download a compressed .tar.bz2 source package from
