Abstract

This chapter describes the conceptual framework of the honeypot. A detailed diagram reveals the workflow of a honeypot. Honeypot does have limitation and that is its common features which can be easily speculated by the attackers. The technique used will be discussed in detail. The distinct difference between the honeypot and a real system is if it gives away its identity. In order for the Research community to stay ahead of this cat and mouse game, we here in the chapter review many honeypot detecting methods proposed by recent researchers so as to improve some of the features. /the online available honeypot detection tool is referenced in this chapter as well.
