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
