A review of dynamic and intelligent honeypots

Abstract

A honeypot is a computer resource that is deployed in the network to attract attackers. It is designed to be attacked and misused by them. The functionality of a honeypot depends on its technical configuration made by the system administrators. To properly blend in with the environment, a honeypot must be configured to mimic the production hosts within the network environment which is very dynamic. This paper reviews research on dynamic and intelligent honeypots.
