Installing Amun Honeypot is quite straightforward. In my case I am using a Debian Lenny 5.0 box as a honeypot. I followed this simple steps:
- Download Amun Honeypot from Sourceforge.net
- Move amun-v0.1.9.tar.gz to a directory (in my case I have used /opt)
- Unzip the file using tar xvfz amun-v0.1.9.tar.gz
- Get into /opt/amun
- Be sure to install Python and Python Psyco before starting the service (apt-get install python python-psyco)
- Start the service with ./amun_server.py and you’re done!
If you want to create a service to start or stop Amun I have written an init script for Debian that you can download. Don’t forget to change its permissions with chmod 755 /etc/init.d/amun and install it with update-rc.d amun defaults
Wanted to leave first comment on your blog. I’ve got Amun on my to try list, looking at the ease of install you encountered think I’ll have to find a spare 30 minutes and get it running.
Thanks for sharing your init script, always helps keep systems nice and tidy. Looking forward to hear some of your findings as the honeypot gets some hits.

Andrew, thank you for your comment!
Just completed an install of Amun using your steps, worked seamlessly thanks. (Typo at point 5. should be python-pysco 😉 ).
Also wanted to ask; do you do the Twitter thing? (or email: firstlast [at]infosanity{do7}tld)
Thanks for the feedback!, it will be great to know your impressions about Amun. I am not a big fan of Twitter but now I am following you 😀
argh, upload form ate a ‘.’ between first and last….
[…] my environment. I’d had Amun on my list of potentials for a while, but after reading a short blog post by Miguel Cabrerizo that suggested install and setup was relatively quick and painless, it got […]
Sounds like a great project. One i most definitively will give a shot when i get some lab-time. Oh, and i am following you on twitter 🙂
