Honeypot: A Survey
Neha Sahu, Vineet Richhariya · 2012
Information security is a growing concern today for organizations and individuals alike. This has led to growing interest in more aggressive forms of defense to supplement the existing methods. One of these methods involves the use of honeypots. A honeypot is a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked or compromised. It is an outstanding technology that helps us to learn new hacking techniques from attackers and intruders. The much information we collect from multiple Honeypot servers, the more exact attack patterns we can generate and we can also try to find out the location of attacker. In this paper we present an overview of honeypots and provide a starting point for persons who are interested in this technology. We examine different kinds of honeypots, honeypot concepts, and approaches in order to determine how we can recommend measures to enhance security using these technologies.
