Honeypotting with VMware - basics
Honeypots are becoming more common as security professionals attempt to conduct more detailed research on current "state of the art" practices among attackers. Honeypots are also invaluable for learning about an attackers motivations, their habits and patterns of behavior. Unfortunately setting up a proper honeypot is a non-trivial task, and correctly configuring network sensors to capture all data, as well as the resulting forensics tasks can be rather daunting. The good news is that there are a number of tools and techniques that can make life much easier for some honeypot administrators.
