Impost is a network security auditing tool designed to analyze the forensics behind compromised and/or vulnerable daemons. There are two different operating modes: acting as a honey pot controlled by a Perl script or operating as a packet sniffer monitoring incoming data to specified destination ports. It keeps a history of incoming buffers for each connection and creates log files with suspicious data for analysis.
