Honeypots are systems designed to be attacked to gather information about cyber attacks. They allow monitoring of the latest attack trends and where attacks originate. Different types of honeypots exist for various purposes like research, production environments, malware analysis, and email/database monitoring. Honeypots provide advantages like collecting high value data sets cost effectively with minimal resources, but also have disadvantages like limited visibility and risk of detection.

2. INTRODUCTION
• The technology was growing very fast.
• New attacks every day
• The more you know about your enemy, the better you can protect yourself.
• The main goal of honeypot is to gather as much information as possible.

3. What is a Honeypot
Honeypot is an exciting new technology with enormous potential for the
security community.
• According to Lance Spitzner, founder of honeypot project: “A honeypot is an
information system resource whose value lies in unauthorized or illicit use of
that resource.”
• Used for monitoring, detecting and analyzing attacks

4. Types of Honeypots:
• Research Honeypots
• Production Honeypots
• Malware Honeypots
• Email Honeypots
• Database Honeypots

5. What honeypots do?
• Assess the latest trends in attacks.
• Understand where cyber attacks arise.

6. Honey Net:
• Network of Honeypots
• High interaction honeypots
• Two or more honeypots on a network form a honeynet.
• It is basically an architecture, an entire network of computers
designed to be attacked

8. Advantages of Honeypots:
• Collect small data sets of high value
• Cost effective
• Simplicity
• Minimal resources

9. Disadvantages of Honeypots:
• Limited view
• Risk
• Finger Printing

10. Conclusion:
• Effective tool for observing hacker movements as well as
preparing the system for future attacks.
