Abstract :
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are entering the daily life of many. Like wireless LAN before, these are a new playground for developers, but also offer new ways for misuse of this technology. For the improvement of security and to get more valuable data about new attacks, a honeypot for WSNs is in development. This paper presents an effectiveness analysis of a honeypot for WSN and shows detection capabilities in the categories of known and unknown attacks.
