Q: What is your understanding of honeypots?​

A: Honeypots are deception technologies used to monitor, detect, analyse, and trace attacker behaviour. They have no legitimate business purpose; any traffic to a honeypot is likely malicious.

Key Benefits:

  • Early detection.
  • Detailed analysis of attack methods.
  • Traceability of attackers.
  • Low false positive rate.

Types:

  • Low-interaction (limited emulation).
  • High-interaction (real services).
  • Research honeypots.
  • Production honeypots.
