In this video we're going to talk about pot. So what is a honey pot. Well here's a diagram of a honey pot. What it is is that a honey pot is a decoy server or multiple servers and they're typically placed in a DMZ which we see down here. We have our firewall. We have our DMC over here with a honey pot in it. And then our internal network protected on a different interface on the firewall and the whole purpose of these honey pot being in a DMZ is they're designed to entice malicious users meaning hackers to attack them rather than our internal network. And so how does this work. Well they're set up to look just like live production servers how ever the I.T. personnel are going to poorly configured them to make them much easier to exploit than or actual production servers. So they're more enticing to attack. They're easier to get into. They're easier to exploit. So why do we use a honeypot. Well they serve a twofold purpose. The first one of course makes sense and it's kind of straight forward is a lure that the hackers away from our real network. So we would much rather have them attack our honeypot than our real production internal network. The second thing is that honey pots allow our I.T. personnel to observe and learn how hackers are attacking our system. So we get to learn their methodologies for how they're exploiting weaknesses and vulnerabilities within our systems so we can better secure them. So that's a honey pot. And like I said they're typically set up within a DMZ. They could be an actual physical server they could be multiple servers they could be multiple servers at a virtualize within a single physical server the way what's their setup is really just going to be dependent upon the organization. But like I said they're typically setup in their own DMZ off on a different interface on our firewall. I mean in regards to the role that they play in network isolation will they play a role in isolating or at least enticing the attackers to their own isolated portion of the network rather than our internal network. So that's going to conclude our short introduction and overview into honey pots. So if you have any questions please let me know if not thanks for watching and I'll see you at the next video.
