Abstract: Honeypots have been used as decoy devices to understand the dynamics of threats on networks and their impacts. However, the questions of whether and how honeypots can elicit rich human attacker behaviors have not been investigated systematically. These capabilities are especially important for Internet of Things devices given the limited knowledge about attacker goals.
