We once set up a honeypot network in the lab and loaded it with government-esque data. Given our government-sounding name, it didn’t take long before the hackers came out of the woodwork. We cataloged their moves and in some cases watched them work, as they stole the “valuable” data and poisoned the network in their wake. It’s interesting to note that the majority of these attacks came from China and the Far East, with quite a few from Hong Kong. But we stopped them. Indeed, the whole point of a honeypot network (named with a nod toward Winnie the Pooh and the time he got stuck in the honey jar) is to trap hackers and learn their tactics.


Sounds like a winner , why not have lots of these honeypots?

Secure Sockets Layer can protect Internet traffic by providing encryption and authentication. But it is a double-edged sword that also can hide malware and other malicious traffic. That creates the need to inspect or otherwise control traffic that uses SSL.
