Overview

A literature review of honeypot systems involves studying existing research, frameworks, and cybersecurity solutions related to attack monitoring, threat intelligence collection, and malicious activity analysis.

This chapter provides an overview of current honeypot technologies and security monitoring systems used in cybersecurity research and defensive environments.

The chapter first introduces several well-known honeypot frameworks and security analysis tools such as Cowrie, Dionaea, T-Pot, and Elastic Stack (ELK). These systems are commonly used for capturing malicious activities, monitoring attacker behavior, and analyzing security events.

Next, the chapter discusses the technologies and features provided by existing systems, including attack logging, malware collection, dashboard visualization, intrusion monitoring, and threat analysis capabilities.

Finally, a gap analysis is presented to identify the limitations of current solutions and highlight the need for a modular web-based honeypot framework that provides centralized monitoring, structured attack analysis, and extensible vulnerability simulation features for cybersecurity research purposes.
