When you say "best", what do you mean? There really is no best, but I'll
point out a few good ones and you can make a descision that best fits
your situation.  (if the links don't work, use google)

KFSensor: is a cool host-based (IDS) && honeypot with features such as
simulating trojans listning on ports.  This is also a lightweight
application. www.keyfocus.net/kfsensor/

Some useful links that pertain to your question.

**Keep in mind, honeypots are detectable, and can possibly add an extra
attack vector for experienced hackers; but good for worms and botnets.

Dear All :

Can you advise what is the best honeypot server available
Open-source or commercial - it doesn't matter as long as it will be easy
to
administrate and easy to monitor and alerted ...
