Catches attackers before they reach real systems

Honeypot

Trap attackers with decoy SSH, RDP, and web ports across your infrastructure. Stop intrusions before they start with the Honeypot module.

  • SSH / RDP / FTP
  • EARLY WARNING
  • ZERO RISK

[ PURPOSE & VALUE ]

What does Honeypot do?

When cyber attackers breach a network, their first move is reconnaissance — scanning for open ports and vulnerable servers — followed by lateral movement. NextPcap's Honeypot (Cyber Deception) module turns this behavior against them. It creates decoy services on unused ports across your network and servers. Any identity that touches these traps — which real users would never access — is immediately classified as the highest-severity threat and blocked network-wide.

[ FEATURES ]

What Honeypot delivers

Multi-Protocol Simulation

Simulates the ports attackers target most: SSH (2222), Telnet (23), FTP (21), RDP (3389), and Web Admin (8081).

Brute-Force Attempt Analysis

Logs the username/password combinations attackers try against the decoy services, letting you analyze wordlists targeted specifically at your organization.

Advanced Alert Triggering

A single packet reaching a decoy port triggers a Critical alert outright — a normal user has no legitimate reason to ever probe these ports.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

Live in three steps

Deploy

Low-interaction honeypot ports are opened within the NextPcap infrastructure or on client servers.

Lure

An attacker or malware performing network reconnaissance sends requests to these decoy ports.

Log & Block

The decoy service instantly records the source IP, timestamp, and payload, then blocks that IP network-wide.

Frequently asked questions about Honeypot

Does the Honeypot module pose any risk to real systems?

No. Traps are isolated, low-interaction services that never touch production systems.

Why is every connection to a honeypot treated as critical?

Because these ports are never used by real users — any access attempt is a direct signal of malicious intent.
