About:
mwcollect is an easy solution to collect worm-like malware in a non-native environment like FreeBSD or Linux. The first versions were used to collect binaries for botnet monitoring, and bots are still what it is mostly collecting. Some people consider it a next generation honeypot; however, that comparison often leads to the misunderstanding that computers running mwcollect can actually be infected with the malware, which is not the case.
