The Honeynet Project is a group of thirty security professionals dedicated to learning the tools, tactics, and motives of the blackhat community and sharing those lessons learned. The team collects this information on their own time with their own resources. The primary method for obtaining information is through the use of a Honeynet. It is our hope and intent to develop the security community in the two following ways.

1. Raise awareness. To raise awareness of the threats and vulnerabilities that exist in the Internet today. We raise awareness by demonstrating real systems that were compromised in the wild by the blackhat community.  Many people believe it can't happen to them.  We hope to change their mind.
2. Teach and inform. For those in the community who are already aware and concerned, we hope to give you the information to better secure and defend your resources.
