Our HoneyPoint product does this.

It allows you to "sprinkle" pseudo-services around your environment using your existing systems and then provides centralized alerting and event management turning the pseudo-services into intelligence and threat management tools.

It is a commercial product, but is priced quite affordably.

Thanks for all of you ...

When I said Alerting I meant that I should be able to sense the attack when
it happens.

Another question :
If I am an attacker - is there anyway to fingerprint it and know that it's
not a server and it's a just a honeypot ...

My problem is that depending on the already known versions of the honeypots and honeynets software - the attackers will always be able to identify them
and thus avoid doing any activities on them ...

Thanks ,,,

honeypots are not for alerting.  they are for researching the unknown.
Look to snort or a nids for your requirements.

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 ...
