HoneyPots....

   Today one of my friend ask me What is Honeypot and how to use it. So, I decided to write an article on it.
According to Wikipedia:- In computer terminology, a honeypot is a trap set to detect, deflect, or in some manner counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. Generally it consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network, but is actually isolated and monitored, and which seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers.

There are lots of methods to deploy Honeypots based on what kind of Honeypot you want to use. In this article we will see hot to setup an network based honeypot. This honeypot is used to detect network attack.
