The document discusses honeypots, which are computer resources dedicated to being probed, attacked, or compromised. Honeypots can be used to detect internal attacks, identify scans and automated attacks, identify trends, keep attackers away from important systems, and collect signatures of attacks and malicious code. They work by emulating known vulnerabilities to collect information about attacks. Honeypots include low and high interaction varieties. Popular honeypot software includes Honeyd, which simulates virtual networks, and Nepenthes, which emulates vulnerabilities to capture binaries and commands executed by worms. Logs from honeypots can be analyzed to identify attack sources and collect malware samples.
