Description
Over the past several years, honeypots have demonstrated their value as a security mechanism. However, physical honeypot deployment is often time intensive and expensive, as different operating systems require specialized hardware and every honeypot requires its own physical system. Consequently, honeypots are deployed only by organizations that can afford the cost and overhead. Virtual honeypots offer a solution for a much broader audience. These systems share many of the values of traditional honeypots, but have the advantages of running on a single system. This makes virtual honeypots cheaper to build, easier to deploy, and simpler to maintain. Virtual Honeypots is a guide to virtual honeypots and their applications. Examples cover a wide range of virtual honeypot applications including network decoy, worm detection, spam prevention, forensic analysis as well as network simulation (used by professors in universities to teach protocols and by corporate trainers to train security professionals to scan for vulnerabilities). One section is also devoted to the author's honeyd virtual honeypot, which is used by the US Military in it's network security efforts. Of particular interest to readers will be Provos' presentation of the hybrid virtual honeypot, which combines the power of the expensive, high-interaction honeypots with the ease of configuration and maintenance of low-interaction honeypots.
