Honeyd Discussion Forums

Hi people,
Ive searched the forum but havent been able to find a solution to the segmentation fault problem when using honeyd-1.5c.
my conf file is somewhat similar to the paper here
http://www.paladion.net/pdf/simulating_networks_with_honeyd.pdf
Ive setup only one physical machine on the virutal network by the command -

bind 10.1.1.53 to eth1

This results in honeyd dying on pinging it, throwing a segmentation fault.
Please help!
Cheers
Kashyap

I found something strange in the honeyd_input() function into honeyd.c.
With lot of printf and gdb i have found that in some cases, the call of honeyd_delay_packet() function is possibly wrong !

You have to replace the honeyd.c line 2937 :

honeyd_delay_packet(NULL, ip, iplen, NULL, NULL, delay, flags, no_spoof);
by this one :
honeyd_delay_packet(tmpl, ip, iplen, NULL, NULL, delay, flags, no_spoof);

Recompile honeyd and segmentation fault disappear with dev binding.
But be careful, maybe it could introduce some side effects !
