Overview

Make every unauthorized touch obvious. Honeypots do that - when they're deployed like a tool, not a science project. TLDR+ Honeypots is a hands-on field manual for designing, deploying, and operating honeypots and honeytokens in real environments. It's written for SOC analysts, detection engineers, and hands-on security/sysadmin practitioners who want high-confidence signals, cleaner investigations, and deception that doesn't become a liability. This is not a theory book. It's a practical, terminal-friendly cheatbook: tool/command → context → real usage. You'll set up commonly used low- and high-interaction traps, wire them into your SOC pipeline, and turn ""someone touched it"" into actionable detection and intel. Inside, you'll learn how to: Choose the right honeypot type for your goal (tripwire vs telemetry vs malware capture) Deploy common service honeypots (SSH/Telnet, web, SMB/FTP) with safe network placement Stand up Cowrie, Dionaea, OpenCanary, and honeypot stacks like T-Pot in a repeatable way Plant honeytokens and decoy credentials that catch access misuse and lateral movement Collect, parse, and normalize honeypot logs for SIEM ingestion and alerting Write practical detections (Sigma-style logic, KQL-like patterns) for ""impossible-to-ignore"" events Triage sessions, commands, and payloads without giving the attacker a pivot point Convert honeypot activity into CTI: IOCs, TTPs, and ATT&CK-aligned reporting You'll also get quick-reference checklists, sample configurations, rule starters, and reusable templates for analysis and reporting. Whether you're adding deception to a small SOC or building a lab that feeds threat hunting and CTI - this book gets you to signal, not noise.
