This year has been a Christmas more tough than usual for a lot of people. The Covid pandemic is rising again all over the world, the security analysts are facing one of the worst ever found software vulnerabilities (referring to Log4j CVE-2021-44228), and so on.
With the goal to help all the community during these hard times, recently we have been working to a new project, called GreedyBear, that you can find on Github.
The Honeynet Project has appointed Ali Ikinci as the new CEO.
We wish to thank Faiz Ahmad Shuja for leading the project over the past years, and welcome Ali for accepting the challenge.
Founder and current leader of the Turkish Chapter, Ali is a longtime Honeynet Project member and contributor: he co-authored research papers on malicious website detection with low-interaction honeyclients and on honeypots for the Internet of Things. Born and raised in Germany, Ali is also an established professional in the Information Security field, with broad experience as a Chief Security Analyst, Product Manager, Senior IT consultant and Entrepreneur.
Intel Owl is an Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT solution to get threat intelligence data about a specific file or observable from a single API at scale. Intel Owl helps enrich threat intelligence data, especially speeding up retrieval of info because it is composed of 100+ analyzers (tools, external APIs, etc.). Organizations can host their own instance of Intel Owl to help mitigate threats more effectively.
Our GSoC student Hariom Chaturved was working for three months on the network capture analysis tool PcapMonkey, specifically introducing live capture, testing architecture, and the introduction of zkg support.

This year I got selected for Google Summer of Code 2020 under The Honeynet Project and worked on the SNARE/TANNER. GSoC 2020 was very special for me because I finally got selected for the organization, for which I’ve been trying to get selected for the past 2 years.
I got to know about Google Summer of Code in 2018 when I learned that my elder brother has done it 3 years in a row. He wanted me to try to get selected for any org that I like. So I started looking for projects on GSoC archives and came across the Honeynet Project org. I was interested in it because I really liked all the projects under it, projects like Snare Tanner, Thug, etc. I think these projects attracted my attention because they have a feel of being related to the `Information Security` field.
I am passionate about Network Security, Cybersecurity, and programming, and I wanted to get involved with a project that includes it all.
HosTaGe project drew my attention because I found it really fascinating the idea that any android device can be turned into a honeypot and be transformed into an essential tool for attack detection.
I wanted to work on this project because it allowed me to improve this new generation of mobile honeypots and consequently improve the security of the internet in general.
