A Honeypot MUST appear to be an attractive target.A Honeypot MUST appear to be an attractive target. –Accurate Responses to active (nmap) and passive(p0f) operating system fingerprinting methods, daemon banner queries, port scans, and vulnerability scanners (nessus). nmapp0fnessusnmapp0fnessus –Convincing content if system is running httpd or ftpd. –Inconspicuous in relation to rest of network. –The Honeypot can reside next to production systems so that it is scanned during sweeps or ports can be redirected from production systems to the Honeypot.

All traffic is suspect and is logged in full tcpdump format.

The hosts can be configured to run simulated TCP services or proxy the service to another machine. The TCP/IP personality (OS Fingerprints) can be adapted so that they appear to be running certain versions of operating systems. Honeyd is a small daemon that creates virtual hosts on a network.

As of Version 6.02 the IP stack is not emulated so IP fingerprinting tools are not fooled. (A Stealth Plugin is currently under development using raw socket support on XP.) –Specter honeypots offer 14 100% emulated services such as: STMP, FTP, Telnet, Finger, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP, and SSH –Custom fake password files and custom HTTP content.
