"Honeypot" is just a computer system or a network segment, loaded with servers and devices and data. It may be protected with a firewall, although you want the attackers to have some access. There may be some monitoring capability, done carefully so that the monitoring is not evident to the attacker. The reason to setup honeypot varies from avoid tampering to tracking and capturingthe attacker. The purpose for this project is to set up an education tool for student to learn and know how honeypot works. Because of the increasing rate of cyber crime, it is hope that with this, it can encourage the student and the public generally to be more aware about the matter concerning information technology security. The Honeynet Project made up of a small group of security professionals dedicated to learning the tools and tactics of the black-hat community and sharing those lessons learned with the security community. Their contribution varies from how to setup a honeypot to how the attacker behaves and what triggers them is shown in this paper and research. To design this particular honeypot, I've use the waterfallmodel methodology as a guideline to build and design it. Honeypot are interesting research topic and open up a new field of technology and creative thinking.
