	The Distributed Honeypot Project
		As honeypot and honeynet technologies continue to mature, it is important for the security community to understand what honeypot user’s need are, and what level of abilities they have with technologies.
		Honeypot mailing list to ascertain the level of expertise in several honeypot technologies and the types of technologies that were being used “out in the field”.
		The needs of the honeypot community were measured by questions that asked subjects about their level of interest in certain potential future research topics, and allowed subjects to provide their own comments about what they would like to see researched.

	Honeypots: Simple, Cost-Effective Detection
		Both honeypots are low-interaction production solutions; their purpose is to help protect organizations, as opposed to research honeypots, which are used to gather information.
		Honeypots are a relatively new security technology whose real value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised so that the actions of the intruders can be observed, analyzed and understood.
		Honeypots have no rules to update or modify, and no advanced algorithms are required to analyze network traffic.

	Honeypot (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A honeypot that masquerades as an open proxy is known as a sugarcane.
		The term "honeypot" is often understood to refer to the English children's character Winnie-the-Pooh, a stuffed bear who was lured into various predicaments by his desire for pots of honey.
		This in itself is indicative of the power of honeypots as anti-spam tools: in the early days of anti-spam honeypot usage spammers showed little concern for hiding their location and would test for vulnerabilities and send spam directly from their own systems.

	What is honeypot? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Honeypots are designed to mimic systems that an intruder would like to break into but limit the intruder from having access to an entire network.
		Most honeypots are installed inside firewalls so that they can better be controlled, though it is possible to install them outside of firewalls.
		Honeypots are positioned to become a key tool to defend the corporate enterprise from hacker attacks, but some security watchers worry they could bring a new set of security worries with them.

	O'Reilly Network -- Managing a Honeypot
		Honeypots are closely-monitored network decoys that serve several purposes: they can distract adversaries from more valuable machines on a network, provide early warning about new attacks and exploitation trends, and allow in-depth examination of adversaries during and after exploitation.
		Research honeypots are complex to maintain, so their usefulness is primarily in security research, military, or government organizations.
		Fortunately for honeypot operators, there are exemptions to the Federal Wiretap Act that could apply to some honeypot configurations, but they still leave many hacker traps in a legal danger zone.

	To Build a Honeypot
		Since the honeypot is isolated by the firewall, you know all traffic has to go through the firewall.
		If your firewall logs your honeypot being scanned, but there is nothing in the system logs, then you were most likely scanned by a "stealth" scanner, such as nmap.
		Honeypots are an extremely powerful tool that allows you to learn about the fl-hat community.

		However, at least once an hour, on average, the BBC honeypot was hit by an attack that could leave an unprotected machine unusable or turn it into a platform for attacking other PCs.
		Via the honeypot we could see these machines sending test data in sequence to the ports, or virtual doors to the net, that the PC had open.
		The BBC honeypot was attacked by a PC at a Chinese aid organisation, a server in Taiwan and many machines in Latin America.

	Fun Things To Do With Your Honeypot - The Community's Center for Security
		Honeypots are a hot topic in the security research community right now.
		Honeypots can be used to ensnare and beguile potential hackers; entice them to give you more research information, and actively defend your production network.
		A honeypot is an illusion that you weave for the attacker.

	Like hackers to a honeypot - smh.com.au
		One way to do this is to build a "honeypot", a computer system installed purely to attract hackers and log their activities.
		Honeypot research has also given rise to other hacker control tools such as "tar pitting" software, which creates a simulated environment and monopolises the hacker's connection, reducing their ability to attack others.
		Honeypots began as research tools with limited commercial application, so many utilities are available free of charge, often with source code.

	Anti-Honeypot Technology
		Honeypots are a great way to observe, identify and capture potential attackers.
		Essentially, the honeypot technologies must remain secret in order for them to be effective in the field.
		Honeypot program writers must continually update and change their program to avoid being identified by attackers.

	Windows Security Resources: Honeypots
		Honeypots are unsecured but isolated servers that act as a trap for hackers.
		Honeypots are becoming more common as security professionals attempt to conduct more detailed research on current "state of the art" practices among attackers.
		Honeypots are also invaluable for learning about an attackers motivations, their habits and patterns of behavior.

	Honeypot - Honey Pot and Tarpit Explained
		If a honeypot is successful, the intruder will have no idea that s/he is being tricked and monitored.
		A firewall in a honeypot works in the opposite way that a normal firewall works: instead of restricting what comes into a system from the Internet, the honeypot firewall allows all traffic to come in from the Internet and restricts what the system sends back out.
		Honeypot systems should be configured to look like a box that hackers would like to exploit.

	Honeypot Farms
		One weakness of honeypots is they have a limited field of view, in that they only see activity that interacts with the honeypot.
		This means for a honeypot to monitor the activity on a network, the honeypot should be deployed on that network.
		By consolidating all of your high-interaction honeypots to a single farm, you mitigate risk by having all of your honeypots in a single location.

	Hackers caught in security 'honeypot' \| Tech News on ZDNet
		But what they had done was walk right into a trap known as a honeypot -- a specially equipped system deployed by security professionals to lure hackers and track their every move.
		The honeypot administrators learned how the hackers chose their targets, what level of expertise they had, what their favorite kinds of attacks were, and how they went about trying to cover their tracks so that they could nest on compromised systems.
		Honeypots or other projects that offer the detailed, behind-the-scenes forensics of hacker tracking often end up being as useful as "metallurgy for the guy tightening the lug nuts," Prince says.

	Honeypots (Definitions and Value of Honeypots)
		A honeypot may be a system that merely emulates other systems or applications, creates a jailed environment, or may be a standard built system.
		Honeypots address false negatives as they are not easily evaded or defeated by new exploits.
		No one honeypot is better then the other, each one has its advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve.

	Atomic Software Solutions - Windows Honeypot Solution - HoneyBOT
		Honeypots are becoming one of the leading security tools used to monitor the latest tricks and exploits of hackers by recording their every move so that the security community can more quickly respond to new exploits.
		A honeypot is intentionally put in harms way so it is critical to carry out some security precautions on your honeypot computer before deployment on any network.
		In fact, you want your honeypot to be as free as possible from any legitimate traffic so in broad terms we can consider any traffic to the honeypot to be malicious in nature.

	Honeypot Project Finds Unpatched Linux PCs Stay Secure Online For Months - Security Technology News by TechWeb
		Honeypot Project is a non-profit that, as its name suggests, connects vulnerable systems to the Internet in the hope of drawing attacks so that they can be studied.
		Late last month, similar "honeypot" research done by AvanteGarde tallied the average survival time of several versions of Windows at just four minutes.
		Although Honeypot Project deployed several Windows-based honeypots, it felt they were too few in number to use in drawing conclusions.

	UML as a honeypot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A honeypot is a sacrificial system that's (usually) made vulnerable, and put on the net for nasty people to break into.
		A properly constructed honeypot is put on a network which closely monitors the traffic to and from the honeypot.
		In contrast to the physical honeypot logging mechanisms, this is undetectable and unsubvertable.

	Know your Enemy: Phishing
		The compromised honeypots were also used for several different purposes in addition to phishing: as an IRC bot by Romanian attackers and also as a scanner to locate and attack additional vulnerable computers (although the honeynet architecture prevented the attackers from successfully exploiting other servers from the compromised honeypots).
		Interestingly, the attacker did not bother to install a rootkit to hide their presence on the honeypot, which suggests that the attacker did not value the compromised server too highly and that they were not particularly worried about being detected.
		Finally, some of the mass scanning tools recovered from compromised honeypots do not appear to be in popular circulation, which suggests that the attackers had some level of development and tool smith capabilities beyond basic script kiddy activity, or were part of a closed community that did not share their tools in public forums.

	Use a honeypot, go to prison? \| The Register
		Using a honeypot to detect and monitor computer intruders might put you on the working end of federal wiretapping beef, or even get you sued by the next hacker that sticks his nose in the trap, a Justice Department attorney warned Wednesday.
		An increasingly popular technique for detecting would-be intruders, a honeypot is a type of hacker flypaper: a system that sits on an organization's network for no other purpose than to be hacked, in theory diverting attackers away from genuinely valuable targets and putting them in an closely monitored environment where every keystroke can be analyzed.
		In contrast, he said he's not aware of anyone being prosecuted for hacking a honeypot, which, after all, is meant to be hacked.

	Ways of building HOneypots
		Since this firewall only connects to the honeypot, and the honeypot has no legitimate users, any traffic appearing in the firewall logs should be evidence of an attack.
		If the honeypot is intended to draw attention away from more vulnerable hosts, the intruder should only be allowed access until enough data can be collected to lock him or her out of the system and/or close any holes he or she used to get in.
		Using standard administrative tools to "inform" the intruder that the honeypot is being shut down for "standard maintenance" may prevent him or her from ever realizing they've been tracked at all.

	Feature: Building a Honeypot
		I want to learn how they work without them knowing they are being watched. For me, a well designed honeypot means the fl-hat never knew he was being tracked. There are a variety of different approaches on how you can do this. Mine is only one of many.
		The goal is to have our honeypot behind a controlled system. Most firewalls will do, as long as it can both control and log traffic going through it.
		Now, the real trick becomes how to track their moves without them knowing it. First, you do not want to depend on a single source of information. Something can go wrong, things can be erased, etc. I prefer to track in layers.
