Deploying Honeypots

Set up decoys.

Planning a Deployment

Deploying honeypots starts with a clear goal: detect intrusions, gather intelligence, or slow attackers. The goal drives the type, placement, and monitoring you choose. Decoys without a plan add noise and risk.

Choosing Placement

Location determines what you catch:

  • External / DMZ: sees internet scans and untargeted attacks.
  • Internal: catches lateral movement and insiders, the highest-value signal.

Internal decoys near sensitive assets often give the best alerts.
