  • Finding Signal in the Noise: Lessons Learned Running a Honeypot with AI Assistance [Guest Diary] [This is a Guest Diary by Austin Bodolay, an ISC intern as part of the SANS.edu BACS program] Over the past several months, I have gained practical insight into the challenges of deploying and operating a honeypot, even within a relatively simple environment. This work highlighted how varying hardware, software, and network design-can significantly alter outcomes. Through this process, I observed both the value and the limitations of log collection. Comprehensive telemetry proved essential for unde
