How to shut it down so that no harm is done to the device or data?

Dreamwalker420 commented 6 years ago

Excellent question. Since the data in the honeypot should be fake or useless, corruption shouldn't be a factor. As to the system itself, I would suggest saving the system state before deploying the honeypot. When it gets corrupted, you can easily just re-install the same state. A key point here is that honeypots are intended to be used to detect malicious activity on a network. They are not intended to be used as a firewall or as other such security devices.

But can I run it with docker or virtually?

I don't see why not ... but I also don't think that that would serve much purpose? Docker enables you to run systems on the cloud, and the benefit to virtual terminals would be to maintain development state. I don't see how either of these situations would benefit from a honeypot? What is your desired purpose?

I think I need to understand more about docker, although I'm using this project "honeypots'" for learning purpose. I've taken up this as my major project. If you can provide any insight or anything that would help me, would be great.

Thanks
