Topic #: 7
Ryan works as a network security engineer at an organization the recently suffered an attack. As a countermeasure, Ryan would like to obtain more information about the attacker and chooses to deploy a honeypot into the organizations production environment called Kojoney. Using this honeypot, he would like to emulate the network vulnerability that was attacked previously. Which type of honeypot is he trying to implement?
A low-interaction honeypot, like Kojoney, is designed to emulate specific network vulnerabilities and gather information about attackers without providing a full-fledged operating environment. These honeypots are typically easier to deploy and maintain compared to high-interaction honeypots. They simulate certain services and responses to attract attackers, allowing the network security team to gather data on attack patterns, tools, and methodologies used by the attackers. This information is crucial for understanding the attack and improving defenses.
High-interaction honeypots: Provide a complete environment that can fully engage with attackers, offering more detailed insights but also posing higher risks.
Pure honeypots: Essentially full-scale, unmodified systems that an attacker interacts with.
Research honeypots: Used primarily for gathering information for research purposes, often involving high-interaction setups.
