A Survey on Honeypots Security

With the increasingly use of computer technology and the Internet, information security becomes more important. The tradition defense mechanism to detect the security risk has been unable to meet the requirement of the people. The honeynet technology as a protection technology to make up for the traditional system. This research paper describes a brief review on network security techniques, Honeynetand Honeypot Technology. A Honeypot is a process of deception trap. It is structured to lure an attacker into intending compromise the information systems in an organization. But it is required a correct deployment, if it is deployed correctly, can serve as an early-warning system and advanced security surveillance tool. It minimize the risks from attack. It is also analyses the ways in which attacker try to compromise an information and networks system, providing valuable insight into potential system loopholes. This paper gives idea how honeypot technology can be used to detect, identify and gather information for a specific threat& how it can be deployed for the purpose to enhance the level of security in organization and enterprise.
