HoneyChart: Automated Honeypot Management over Kubernetes.

Honeypots have been proven to be a useful tool in the arsenal of defense solutions against cyber-attacks. Over time, various honeypot solutions have been proposed to lure attackers that target both conventional networks and Industrial Control Systems. However, the current approaches do not make the deployment and usability of honeypots more attractive to defenders. In this paper we propose HoneyChart, a framework for honeypot deployment that leverages on Helm Charts for Kubernetes to create honeypot templates from existing virtualized environments and deploy the appropriate honeypots based on the desired services. HoneyChart allows the fast and automated deployment of containerized honeypots, allowing the defenders to focus on what really matters: the analysis of attacks, IoCs and imminent threats.
