Abstrakt: In this paper, we address how honeynets, networks of computers intended to be compromised, can be used to increase network security in a large organizational environment. We outline the current threats Internet security is facing at present and show how honeynets can be used to learn about those threats for the future. We investigate issues researchers have to take into account before deploying or while running a honeynet. Moreover, we describe how we tied honeynet research into computer security classes at Georgia Tech to successfully train students and spark interest in computer security. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
