The Honeynet Project

The Honeynet Project is an international research organization that focuses on cybersecurity by studying cyber attackers. They deploy controlled, transparent systems called honeypots—decoy networks or computers that appear vulnerable—to attract and monitor malicious activities. This helps security professionals understand attacker methods, tools, and behaviors, enabling better defense strategies. The project's goal is to improve internet security by sharing insights gained from these investigations, ultimately helping organizations and individuals protect themselves against cyber threats.
