  1. Honeypots

  2. Your Speaker Lance Spitzner • Senior Security Architect, Sun Microsystems • Founder of the Honeynet Project • Author of Honeypots: Tracking Hackers • Co-author of Know Your Enemy • Moderator of <honeypots@securityfocus.com> maillist • Former ‘tread head’.

  3. Purpose To introduce you to honeypots, what they are, how they work, their value.

  4. Problem • Variety of misconceptions about honeypots, everyone has their own definition. • This confusion has caused lack of understanding, and adoption.

  5. Honeypot Timeline • 1990/1991 The Cuckoo’s Egg and Evening with Berferd • 1997 - Deception Toolkit • 1998 - CyberCop Sting • 1998 - NetFacade (and Snort) • 1998 - BackOfficer Friendly • 1999 - Formation of the Honeynet Project • 2001 - Worms captured • 2002 - dtspcd exploit capture

  6. Definition Any security resource who’s value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised

  7. How honeypots work • Simple concept • A resource that expects no data, so any traffic to or from it is most likely unauthorized activity

  8. Not limited to specific purpose • Honeypots do not solve a specific problem, instead they are a tool that contribute to your overall security architecture. • Their value, and the problems they help solve, depend on how build, deploy, and you use them.

  9. Types • Production (Law Enforcment) • Research (Counter-Intelligence) Marty’s idea

  10. Value • What is the value of honeypots? • One of the greatest areas of confusion concerning honeypot technologies.

  11. Advantages • Based on how honeypots conceptually work, they have several advantages. • Reduce False Positives and False Negatives • Data Value • Resources • Simplicity

  12. Disadvantages • Based on the concept of honeypots, they also have disadvantages: • Narrow Field of View • Fingerprinting • Risk

  13. Production • Prevention • Detection • Response

  14. Prevention • Keeping the burglar out of your house. • Honeypots, in general are not effective prevention mechanisms. • Deception, Deterence, Decoys, are phsychological weapons. They do NOT work against automated attacks: • worms • auto-rooters • mass-rooters

  15. Detection • Detecting the burglar when he breaks in. • Honeypots excel at this capability, due to their advantages.

  16. Response • Honeypots can be used to help respond to an incident. • Can easily be pulled offline (unlike production systems. • Little to no data pollution.

  17. Research Honeypots • Early Warning and Prediction • Discover new Tools and Tactics • Understand Motives, Behavior, and Organization • Develop Analysis and Forensic Skills

  20. Tactics

  21. Motives and Behavior J4ck: why don't you start charging for packet attacks? J4ck: "give me x amount and I'll take bla bla offline for this amount of time" J1LL: it was illegal last I checked. J4ck: heh, then everything you do is illegal. Why not make money off of it? J4ck:I know plenty of people that'd pay exorbatent amounts for packeting.

  22. Level of Interaction • Level of Interaction determines amount of functionality a honeypot provides. • The greater the interaction, the more you can learn. • The greater the interaction, the more complexity and risk.

  23. Risk • Chance that an attacker can use your honeypot to harm, attack, or infiltrate other systems or organizations.

  24. Low Interaction • Provide Emulated Services • No operating system for attacker to access. • Information limited to transactional information and attackers activities with emulated services.

  25. High Interaction • Provide Actual Operating Systems • Learn extensive amounts of information. • Extensive risk.
