1. Network honeypot: This type of honeypot is designed to attract and monitor malicious network activity. It can be a decoy server or a network segment that appears vulnerable to attackers. The purpose is to gather information about the attackers' techniques and intentions.
2. Web honeypot: These honeypots are specifically designed to attract and monitor malicious activity targeting web applications. They can be fake websites or vulnerable web servers that collect information about attackers' activities, such as attempted SQL injections or cross-site scripting attacks.
3. Email honeypot: This type of honeypot is used to attract and analyze spam emails, phishing attempts, and malware distribution. It can be a fake email account or a server that captures and analyzes incoming malicious emails.
4. Client honeypot: These honeypots are installed on user devices to attract and analyze malware or malicious activities targeting end-users. They can be virtual machines or software that simulates vulnerable user environments to gather information about malware distribution or exploit attempts.
5. Wireless honeypot: This type of honeypot is designed to attract and monitor malicious activities targeting wireless networks. It can be a fake wireless access point that captures and analyzes unauthorized connection attempts or malicious activities within the network.
6. Database honeypot: These honeypots are designed to attract and monitor attacks targeting databases. They can be fake databases or database servers that collect information about attempted SQL injections, unauthorized access attempts, or data exfiltration attempts.
7. Physical honeypot: This type of honeypot is used to attract and monitor physical attacks or unauthorized access attempts. It can be a decoy server or a physical device that appears valuable to attackers, such as a fake ATM or a network switch.
8. High-interaction honeypot: These honeypots are designed to fully emulate real systems and applications, providing attackers with a realistic environment to interact with. They capture detailed information about attackers' activities but require more resources to set up and maintain.
9. Low-interaction honeypot: These honeypots simulate only specific services or applications, providing limited interaction capabilities to attackers. They are easier to set up and maintain but may not capture as much detailed information as high-interaction honeypots.
10. Virtual honeypot: These honeypots are implemented using virtualization technologies, allowing multiple honeypots to run on a single physical machine. They provide flexibility and scalability in deploying and managing honeypots.
