Re: RE: deploying honeypots...

Hi,
But as Graeme already pointed out, since all the traffic that is going to hit your honeypot is going to malicious, how can you effectively sift the bad from the good.
Logically, there can't be any good traffic heading your way. What you can try though is to sift the bad from the very bad traffic and see if a pattern does emerge.
Interestng project, good luck !
my 2 cents worth

Hm...ok, i decide to use default OS with no patch then :). Thanx...

neural network will take an action needed from traffic it read and decide if
those new traffic is dangerous to system, if so then it will disconnect the
connection (well...it's one of the action will be taken).
