Study Notes
Honeypot Fundamentals
- A honeypot is a decoy computer system, network, or resource that appears to be part of a production environment but is actually isolated and monitored.
- Alerts in a honeypot are triggered by unauthorized access or malicious activity.
Honeypot Types
- Research honeypots aim to gather information about threats, such as attackers' motivations, tactics, and tools.
- Low-interaction honeypots provide limited interactions, simulating a few services or systems.
- High-interaction honeypots provide extensive interactions, simulating a full production environment.
- LaBrea tarpit is a type of honeypot that emulates complete vulnerable devices.
Honeytokens
- Honeytokens are decoy files, data, or credentials that appear valuable but are actually fake and monitored.
- Honeytokens are typically found in file systems, databases, or network shares.
- The purpose of honeytokens is to detect and alert on unauthorized access or usage.
Canary Traps
- The main purpose of canary traps is to detect and alert on unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems.
Commercial Honeypot Deployment
- The strategy for using honeypots in commercial organizations involves deploying them in a way that makes them indistinguishable from production systems.
Honeypot Products
- Dionaea is a honeypot product part of the Modern Honey Network (MHN) platform.
- Kippo is a honeypot known for its ease of use and supports various protocols like HTTP, FTP, and Telnet.
- HoneyDrive is a virtual Xubuntu Desktop appliance with pre-installed honeypot packages.
- Tarpit is a honeypot product known for its quick deployment and leveraging existing open-source tools.
- Conpot is a honeypot product part of the Commercial Honeypot Vendors.
Honeypot Detection
- Banner grabbing may reveal the existence of a honeypot by revealing its names and versions upon connection.
- Noting the uptime of a honeypot may detect its presence, as it may not have the same reboot cycles as a production system.
- A honeypot's log files may divulge its cover if discovered by an attacker.
- A honeypot should be designed to appear authentic, with a layout and configuration similar to a production system.
