Re: Honey Pot Creation

[Brad Rubin <bsrubin () stthomas edu>]

Deva,

A honeypot can be any non-production system, so creating one can be
as simple as getting a system setup with Windows or Linux while
waiting for it to be attacked.  The honeywall sits in between the
honeypot and the network and helps with logging activities directed
to or coming from the honeypot if it is compromised.  It also helps
limit the outgoing damage and associated liability if something does
compromise the honeypot.  And, the honeywall is designed to do this
while trying to remain hidden from the outside.

You can also create a series of honeypot systems and network that run
virtually on a single system using some software called Honeyd.

To get up to speed, setup the honeynet on one system and setup a
regular Linux or Windows system on another and you will learn a lot.
