The Honeynet Project is an open-source, non-profit research organization focused on honeypot technology and cybersecurity threat research. The organization develops and maintains honeypot tools and sensor networks used to study attacker behavior and tactics in real-world environments. Key activities include: - Operating a distributed honeypot sensor network across multiple environments, collecting threat data from real attack traffic - Developing and maintaining open-source honeypot tools (including T-Pot and BuffaLogs) - Hosting annual workshops that combine cybersecurity briefings with hands-on training sessions - Participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC), mentoring developers who contribute to its open-source projects - Publishing research, blog posts, and project summaries related to honeypot deployments and threat data collection The organization uses orchestration tools such as Ansible to manage sensor deployments, enabling lightweight, semi-disposable sensors that can be spun up across diverse infrastructure environments. BuffaLogs, one of its active projects, focuses on login anomaly detection and alerting. The Honeynet Project also fosters a global community of security researchers who collaborate on advancing deception-based threat detection methods.
