there has been growing interest in exactly what
this technology is and how it works. The purpose
of this paper is to introduce you to honeypots and
demonstrate their capabilities. We will begin by
discussing what a honeypot is and how it works,
then go into detail using the OpenSource solution
Honeyd. Source: SecurityFocus.com (Jan

Open Source Honeypots,
Part Two: Deploying Honeyd in the Wild
This is the second part of a three-part series
looking at Honeyd, an open source solution that is
excellent for detecting attacks and unauthorized
activity. This paper takes a closer look at Honeyd.
The authors deploy Honeyd on the big, scary
Internet for one week and watch what happens. The
intent is to test Honeyd by letting real bad guys
interact with and attack it. We will then analyze
how the honeypot performed and what it discovered.
