Junetsu Overview

Junetsu is a suite of networking components that allows network administrators to automate the registration and admission of networked devices onto a network. Junetsu is built to be nonintrusive to networking topologies and networking equipment. The only configuration required of the network infrastructure is an extra empty subnet for HoneyD and your client networks configured to enforce DHCP. The goal of the JuNetSu project is to extend identity management beyond users to network devices beginning with end user devices. Junetsu is implemented using a set of open source extensions built on the Novell Identity Manager Scripting Driver. These extensions are all publically available (links below).

There are currently components available for DHCP registration, honeyd integration for the deregistration of infected computers, and registration audit logging. Components can be selected based on the organization's needs. Each component allows a high level of customization through shell and Perl scripts. Junetsu is available for Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX, with web-based registration for workstations of any operating system.

The base level of integration can easily be extended to provide additional integration points including:

  • Clientless tracking of workstation patching by extending the Scripting Driver to integrate with local patching servers.
  • Preregistration or scheduled nexus scanning for vulnerabilities on workstations.
  • Clientless tracking of workstation virus levels by integrating with local virus servers.
