The security and privacy of each local network or each user become more and more important issue. There are many technologies that provide this kind of abilities such as intrusion detection system, firewall and other security measures. But all these tools often give us too many information that need us to dig the useful information from a few gigabytes data a day. Honeypots come in to help us in three ways that is prevention, detection and how we react to an attack. There are two general types of honeypots which is low interaction honeypots such as Honeyd, Specter and KFSensor. The highly interactive honeypots is like Honeynet. Honeypots basically sit on an unused IP where any attempt connection to that IP is considered as an authorized and malicious attack. This help to reduce the size of the information logged and the security professional can easily detect an intrusion and can response to it more effectively and fast.
