ABSTRACT
Information security is a growing concern today for organizations and individuals alike. This has led to growing interest in more aggressive forms of defense to supplement the existing methods. One of these methods involves the use of honeypots. A honeypot is a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked or compromised. In this paper we present an overview of honeypots and provide a starting point for persons who are interested in this technology. We examine different kinds of honeypots, honeypot concepts, and approaches to their implementation.
