The Honeypot Sting: Hacking the Hackers

Simon Bell, a computer science student in his last year at the University of Sussex, has set out to help answer that question. He’s created an SSH (Secure Shell) honeypot written in C with the aim of researching the techniques of malicious attackers trying to infiltrate the network. Dubbed Secure Honey, Bell designed his honeypot as a final project, which he tracks and writes about on his site.
