Abstract	The Internet today is plagued by numerous types of malicious software (malware). Most of them proliferate by exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system or services that run on hosts connected to the Internet. As computer networks expand, and their functionality is applied in many fields, more and more people are starting to use them. The increase of vulnerable computers connecting to these networks has led to a major increase in the number of malware created by malicious users in an attempt to infect as many hosts as possible. As a result, one of the major goals of the Security community, is creating infrastructures that can gather new samples of malware as soon as they are released in the wild, so as to deploy appropriate defense mechanisms. The goal of this thesis is to explore honeypot technologies as a means of extracting information from malicious network traffic and gathering malware samples. First we examine the benefits of enhancing and extending the architecture and backend of an existing malware collection infrastructure, namely the NoAH project. Second, we present HoneyBuddy, a novel infrastructure that gathers information regarding the increasing number of attacks in instant messaging (IM) traffic. We present a prototype implementation as well as the results from our deployment.
