Last weekend, I asked myself a couple of questions: To find the answers, I used my personal demo setup, which consists of a Raspberry Pi exposing a CROWSI deployment and asked Gemini to instruct me on how to perform a penetration test on this Raspberry Pi, just as a typical script kiddie would do. The … Read more
When it comes to security monitoring, industries often focus on some kind of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), missing out on honeypots. Some organizations may even believe that honeypots aren’t relevant because they already invest in IDS. But that view misses the bigger picture — these technologies don’t compete; they complement each other. What is an … Read more
Distracting attackers from actual assets and wasting their resources is one of the major advantages of honeypots. To achieve this effectively, the system decoys must be convincing to attackers and provide sufficient interaction opportunities to keep them engaged. Such honeypots are typically referred to as high-interaction honeypots, and creating them for a specific ecosystem is … Read more
Since the introduction of the first vehicle cybersecurity regulations, audits and type approvals have become a regular and critical requirement in the automotive security world. OEMs and their suppliers invest significant time and resources in preparing detailed presentations and documentation to explain their security approaches. With upcoming regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act on the … Read more
Honeypots are intentionally designed to be attacked. They serve as valuable tools for gaining insights into attacker TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures) while also acting as decoys to divert attention from actual assets. However, like any other software, honeypots themselves can have vulnerabilities. If an attacker successfully compromises a honeypot system, the potential damage could … Read more
