Creating a Honeypot Server
Explore how to build a DNS honeypot server with Python Scapy by capturing DNS requests and responding with a controlled IP address. Understand packet sniffing and sending techniques and learn how to manage ICMP Port Unreachable messages to keep the honeypot functional for network security purposes.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
A honeypot is a computer used for deception. It could be a system designed to masquerade as a valuable system and accept and log requests to it before dropping them without responding. Alternatively, honeypots could interact with an attacker, providing services that waste their time or direct them to additional honeypots.
We’ve already developed code that logs all requests of a particular type to a system. Now, we’ll create a honeypot DNS server that ...
