Client side honeypots Tuesday 16 September, 11:30-12:15, Penn Room

As attack techniques and attacker motivations change, so too must honeypot technologies. If defenders are to keep up with analysis of the latest threats, alternative technologies may need to be developed and new operational challenges must be overcome. This presentation will summarise recent developments in attacks against web clients and review some of the client side honeypot techniques that are actively being developed to analyse them. It will also discuss some current short comings and the challenges faced in this rapidly changing field of research.
