Information security threats are constantly advancing, adapting, and
evolving, so to are honeypots. This technical presentation will cover
the latest tools in the world of honeypots, including honeynets, client
honeypots, and distributed deployments. We will not only discuss the
value and concepts of these tools, but how they work at a technical
level. In addition, we will cover what we have learned about threats,
including trends over the past several years, some of the latest
threats we have captured, and where we think the future lies.
