two monkeys have announced code of big interest to LWN readers. both are
security minded.

niels provos recently announced a small skunk works project he did named
'honeyd'. it's a virtual honeypot which can occupy unused IPs on your
network and pretend to be legitimate services. while at version 0.1, it
looks very promising. niels can now say he's implemented his own
networking stack!

dug song, one of the most well known monkeys, released yet another cool
product, fragroute. the next generation of fragrouter (a tool developed at
the now defunt Anzen computing), its used for IDS evasion and testing, as
well as general network investigation. version 1.2 was announced to the
'focus-ids' list on securityfocus.

i hope you find this enjoyable, and soon i'll be announcing a tool or two,
i promise!
