Virtual honeypots : from botnet tracking to intrusion detection

Provos, Niels. (Author). Holz, Thorsten. (Added Author).

Summary: "In this hands-on, highly accessible book, two leading honeypot pioneers systematically introduce virtual honeypot technology. One step at a time, you'll learn exactly how to implement, configure, use, and maintain virtual honeypots in your own environment, even if you've never deployed a honeypot before." "You'll learn through examples, including Honeyd, the acclaimed virtual honeypot created by coauthor Niels Provos. The authors also present multiple real-world applications for virtual honeypots, including network decoy, worm detection, spam prevention, and network simulation."--Jacket
