In 1999, a former Army officer with a keen interest in military simulation tactics, started the Honeynet Project in which decoy ‘honeypot’ network computers were deployed. Their sole purpose was to attract attackers in order to help security researchers deconstruct the specific techniques hackers were using to infiltrate their networks.As the enterpr… Click below to read the full story from TechRadar
