Week 9 Project: Honeypot

Honeypots Deployed

  1. dionaea (7,703 attacks)
  2. snort (2,057 attacks)

Brief

For this project, I deployed a Dionaea honeypot and a Snort honeypot. I was able to follow the instructions in the assignment and used the MHN server tool to set up three virtual machines - an admin and the two honeypots.

I didn't encounter any issues when setting things up. The instructions were straightforward, and the scripts from MHN worked as expected.
