While I recognize the value of spotting a new attack or exploit, I have not yet had the privilege of doing so. Identifying new automated attacks has been very interesting, but not terribly useful yet. Occasionally I am able to gather enough information to add a new rule to the IDS. But as an information security analyst for a Fortune 100 company, being able to show upper management exactly what we're getting hit with, and the frequency at which it occurs has been absolutely priceless.One of the things that defining honeypots demonstrated for us was that honeypots come in MANY shapes and sizes, they can accomplish many different goals. This got me wondering, what are individuals and organizations using honeypots for, what features or capabilities do you consider the most important? If you have a moment, post what capabilities you feelare the most important, and why. My intent here is not only can we share ideas, but this discussion canpotentially help the development of honeypots in general. Thoughts?
