Honeypots
Honeypots are a highly flexible security tool with differing applications for security. They don't fix a single problem, instead they have multiple uses, such as prevention, detection, or information gathering. Honeypots all share the same concept, a security resource that should not have any production or authorized activity. This makes them very simple to use.
There are two general types of honeypots, production and research. Production honeypots are easy to use, capture only limited information, and used primarily by companies or corporations. Research honeypots are complex to deploy and maintain, capture extensive information, and used primarily by research, military, or government organizations. [Lance Spitzner]
If you are intending to play with honeypots I would strongly suggest visiting the HoneyNet Project site at http://www.honeynet.org Furthermore, I don't want to replicate their tools page which contains some additional cool products for handling HoneyNet data. Finally read their book Know Your Enemy 2 or Lance Spitzner's book Honeypots: Tracking Hackers
This page contains some tools that do not meet with The HoneyNet description.
