EUSecWest: Security Masters Dojo on Honeynets
An announcement from me: Maximillian Dornseif and I will teach a security masters dojo entitled Advanced Honeypot Tactics during EUSecWest in February. In this one day seminar we will focus on low-interaction honeynets: Maximillian will talk about honeyd and its uses, and I will teach you how to use nepenthes / mwcollect. Moreover, we show how honeypots can be used to protect the infrastructure of a company and several other applied techniques. The seminar will be a hands-on course with lots of exercises.
