Abstract

Honeypots are often used as a proactive attack detection mechanism and as a source of threat intelligence data. However, many honeypots are poorly maintained and cumbersome to extend. Moreover, low-interaction honeypots are prone to fingerprinting attacks due to their limited emulation capabilities. Nonetheless, low-interaction honeypots are essential for environments with limited resources. In this paper, we introduce RIoTPot, a modular and hybrid-interaction honeypot for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) protocols mainly used in Industrial Control System environments.
RIoTPot's modularity comes as a result of plug-n-play container services while its hybrid-interaction capability enables users to switch between low- and high-interaction modes. We deploy RIoTPot on the Internet, receive a large amount of attacks and discuss the results received on both low- and high-interaction modes.
