Introduction


Honeypots are virtual doll houses that permit detection and research of new attack methods.

Honeypots can provide:
Intrusion detection and response.
Network decoy to deter from real targets.
Network sensor.

Different types of Honeypots:
low-interaction: a few services are emulated.
high-interaction: represents a complete (real) operating system.
physical: the honeypot is the same as the machine it runs on.
virtual: no physical system corresponds to the honeypot.
