There are many new updates behind the scenes at Minotaur. For starters, as you can tell, we have a new look. Actually, this is an old look for anyone who has seen our internal servers, but we wanted to bring a consistent look and feel to the public side as well.

We have moved around a lot of our databases and are hoping to provide new stats and the ability to search for a sample soon. The database changes are the reason the collection system has been offline for a few days, but fear not, it is running full-steam now, and we should be getting some brand new samples from the crawls.

The anti-malware DNS resolver appears to be down. We are looking into this.

Minotaur now has ssh honeypots based on kippo installed and recording data.

Long-time friend of Minotaur, dyslexicjedi, has started a blog at http://www.dyslexicjedi.com/.

Lots of fixes going on behind the scenes.

If you find this system useful, please drop us a line at info@novcon.net. We’d love to hear from you.
