![]() Honeypots are not set-and-forget it solutions - quite the opposite. They’re useful for forensic analysis because they often trick the hackers and malware into revealing more of their tricks. High-interaction honeypots usually offer complete or nearly complete copies of the servers they emulate. They may even contain basic file structures and content that could be used to fool an attacker. Medium-interaction honeypots offer a little bit more emulation, usually allowing a connection or logon attempt to appear successful. Low-interaction honeypots are great for providing early warnings of malicious behavior. ![]() ![]() But they don’t allow full connections or logons. Low-interaction honeypots only emulate listening UDP or TCP ports at their most basic level, which a port scanner might detect. Honeypots are classified as low, medium, or high interaction. Whatever you think hackers or malware will most likely to attack is what your honeypots should emulate. Sometimes honeypots are used to mimic network devices, such as Cisco routers, wireless hubs, or security equipment. You can deploy one honeypot that mimics every possible advertising port and service in your environment or deploy several, with each one dedicated to mimicking a particular server type. Most honeypots mimic application servers, database servers, web servers, and credential databases such as domain controllers. ![]() What your honeypots mimic is usually driven by what you think can best detect hackers earliest or best protect your “crown jewel” assets. ![]()
