Hi, I've never done it (I don't trust myself enough to be able to make sure it didn't infect other machines on the network; firewalled or not!), but if I was going to I'd setup a VMWare shell with a vulnerable machine and stick things like RegMon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896652.aspx) or Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) on there. Given the amount of stuff my router picks up then it wouldn't take long for a vulnerable pc to fall victim - almost real-time I'd have thought! For spam ... register here http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ with some MX records ... leave it a week or so for them to propagate and then redirect them to your own mail server / whatever. Although, it would be good etiquette to leave them a couple of MX's spare for their trouble and the general good of the world.

I've set up a few vulnerable machines on my network, made some changes to my router to expose those machines. I've also signed up for various email addresses in hopes that something comes (malicious attachments) through that way. My question is, what is the best way to collect malware, if there is even one solid method? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
