Honeypots are closely monitored decoys that are employed in a network to study the trail of hackers and to alert network administrators of a possible intrusion. Using honeypots provides a cost-effective solution to increase the security posture of an organization. Even though it is not a panacea for security breaches, it is useful as a tool for network forensics and intrusion detection. Nowadays, they are also being extensively used by the research community to study issues in network security, such as Internet worms, spam control, DoS attacks, etc. In this paper, we advocate the use of honeypots as an effective educational tool to study issues in network security. We support this claim by demonstrating a set of projects that we have carried out in a network, which we have deployed specifically for running distributed computer security projects. The design of our projects tackles the challenges in installing a honeypot in academic institution, by not intruding on the campus network while providing secure access to the Internet. In addition to a classification of honeypots, we present a framework for designing assignments/projects for network security courses. The three sample honeypot projects discussed in this paper are presented as examples of the framework.
