Unique Raspberry Pi-based Honeypot

Honeypots run services to lure attackers and prospective scans on Telnet, SSH, and HTTP. The system detects and sends email alerts for any unauthorized access or potential denial of service (DoS) attacks. This is normally performed by the Honeypot application service. The authors propose converting the Honeypot app to as daemon service or corn, which checks status & restarts if required. The authors designed and developed a unique Honeypot framework, named PIPOT using a Python socket program with low-cost Raspberry Pi for monitoring and alerting, instead of using expensive server systems in small organizations running few services with little or no security alerting systems.
