Abstract

Techniques for providing a large scale high-interaction honeypot farm are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/method/computer program product for providing a large scale high-interaction honeypot farm includes sending traffic detected at a sensor to a smart proxy for a honeypot farm that is executed in a honeypot cloud, wherein the traffic is forwarded attack traffic that is sent using a tunneling protocol, and wherein the honeypot farm includes a plurality of container images of distinct types of vulnerable services; selecting a matching type of vulnerable service from the plurality of container images of distinct types of vulnerable services based on a profile of the attack traffic; forwarding the traffic to an instance of the matching type of vulnerable service; and executing a security agent associated with the instance of the matching type of vulnerable service to identify a threat by monitoring behaviors and detecting anomalies or post exploitation activities.
