Book review: Virtual Honeypots: From Botnet Tracking to Intrusion
Detection 
by Niels Provos, Thorsten Holz

Online on: 2007-10-25

Honeypots look like victim systems waiting or searching for malware and
other nefarious attacks, registering the enemy's practices in
high-resolution gory, blood-ridden detail. Virtualization allows one
system to act as a network of disparate victim OS’s and services.
Security experts can observe attacks live or stored for detailed
analysis, learn the methodology of Dr Evil and generate statistics for
internet wide attacks. Virtual Honeypots: From Botnet Tracking to
Intrusion Detection written by Niles Provos and Thorsten Holz and
published by Addison Wesley describes, in full, the detailed aspects of
this high-tech, obscure subject area.
