Abstract: Honeypots act as an easy target for attackers but it is actually a “decoy” in which attacker is trapped. It is a defensive technique which lures the attacker into performing some illicit operations on it and subsequently using it to trace the activities of attacker, generating signatures and protecting the real system. In this article, a recent survey on Honeypots is presented, its deployment in smartphone scenarios, its usage to curb Distributed Denial of Service attacks in variegated frameworks including Cloud environments, copious datasets and open source. Also described are the types Honeypots available, their various security problems, and existing solutions. Furthermore, there is light shed on disparate issues and the challenges in the existing solutions and scope of further research.
