I want to post the follow question, but because there are several questions that are similar. This is different because i'm asking for the details of a walk through procedure of setting it up. I'm willing to offer a bounty to make it worth the effort for the person who answers it. But I don't want to get flagged for a dup. Opinions?

I know that we have several 'set up honeypot' threads.

But none of these are a walk through for noobs. What I'm looking for a Step by Step guide to setting up a honey pot. Here is what i'm looking for in a 'good' answer;

  • OS configuration (Windows/Linux/Virtual set up procedures)
  • Network Configuration (DMZ's, Port Forwards, Network Lockdown procedures)
  • Software usage & Configuration (http://www.honeynet.org/project)
  • Post-exploitation Analyses (What do I do with all these logs and files?!)
  • Any other key points that most NOOBS will most likely miss..

That sounds more like a book than a question.

How does SSL/TLS work? is really the limit of how verbose we want to be. I think this question with the detail you've outlined would be longer. If you split each of those bullets as a very security focused question, I think that would work here.

If you did manage to complete the series on the site, compiling them all would make for a good blog article at the end.

  • A blogpost is a good idea actually

    Good idea on the blog article. Unfortunately, it seems it's going to be very tricky to get this question so that it's both reasonably scoped and applicable to a wide audience. Even the broken-up versions look like they could be chapters in a book, or volumes in a series.

    Agree on the overly wide scope. Moreover, @DigitalFire, I think that several of these broken-down chapters would be better on Super User, rather than here - e.g. setting up your OS, network configuration, etc.
