Sounds like I just need to create a website that's secure enough to keep out bots and script kiddies while looking so obvious like a honeypot that no legitimate hackers ever try to get in
Unfortunately, three-letter agencies steal most of their good work through legal coercion, and tend to actually be pretty terrible at the whole "hacking" thing so we get these embarrassing pot-shots at the low-hanging fruit instead
I always thought the idea of a pot full of honey was flawed due to its space consuming shape as opposed to a cylindrical can or something akin to a keg, more so along the lines of a coffee can.thank you for your video, very informative.
I assume they're shaped like that for easier handling/tying with string/whatever, as are other jars and pots. It's probably important for liquid containers to be an easily holdable shape since they're heavier than dry product
but then the handle could waste space when stacking the contaniers together (if on sides). Keep in mind that honey can crystalise so you need to have wide opening to get it out.
Making large pots in the past fully cylindrical was impractical, higher skill to make it right and higher chance of it getting fucked up during firing. If it gets knocked over you also lose all the contents whereas a pot shape retains a significant portion.
Several years ago I had a home FTP server port-forwarded and on 2 occasions someone tried using a default login. They didn't get in since I configured my server properly.
Seen a couple videos so far and definitely dropping a sub. You should consider making an OPSEC video or series I think a lot of people would like that.

I know this is about honeypots but just needed to say this. Forwarding SSH to WAN is something I'd not do at all, no matter what account is allowed to login. If you have a server, just tunnel into the local network for ssh and everything else that is even vaguely security relevant. OpenVPN rules.

This is off topic, but with your fondess of free software and security, what are your thoughts on React OS? I'm new to the channel, and I'm curious what you think, since it's not Linux / Unix like.
@@samuelfreeman5483 I honestly think that ReactOS is mostly a waste of time. The very talented programmers who run that project should rather use their time to improve wine. Pretty much the only advantage ReactOS has over wine is that you can run Windows drivers natively - in theory. But that means that you have to use a system that's basically Windows internally, which is so inferior to *nix system that it's not worth the hassle. It would be better to add a compatibility layer to wine that could do the same thing without making it a stand-alone OS. As it is, even if it worked as intended, there just isn't any good use for such a system.
A honeypot is usually used to blackmail businessmen. Usually an attractive person tailored to the preferences of the target. An example can be found in the movie "The Interview"
Now the hackers will have to use game theory to figure out whether your computer is a honeypot or is just trying to make them think it is a honeypot, and actually stores real information, or whether it is designed to make it look like the latter and is actually the former.
This is quite an interesting watch... but why would the regular internet user want to avoid honeypots? Are there malicious honeypots out there that want to catch innocent people in order to hack them, steal their information and whatnot? It would be great to know.
He talked about how to get BTC anonymously but how do you get monero anonymously? How do you reload your monero there? Why do people run whole monero nodes on their tor browser? Do you get paid for running them nodes? I only came here because I had no clue what a Honeypot was but my questions could probably make up a whole new episode
Thank you. I feel like this is information that I had parts of but never like the full picture. It's like you filled in all the color for me and I just had the outlines of things.
So... in short. It is like building a house without a door with a house inside with a door locked. The person goes in the big house easily and starts getting into the smaller house, but leaves because he can't. So you reinforce the outer house with a door that has a lock on it and bar the house inside. The person goes back and unlocks the door outside, but is stuck with the inside and tries to bring a hammer to break down the door inside. You meanwhile build a bar on the door outside and make the door inside be metal instead. The person goes, breaks the door outside and once inside, he cannot do anything, so he leaves and is afraid because he knows he was under surveilance so he leaves permamently. Then another guy comes around, but cannot even get through the first door, because now... it is made of metal too with a good lock and a bar behind it.
So are attackers getting into the actual network through a honeypot or is an isolated from the real network? Are attackers getting real information or falsified information that appears to be real?
