Honeypot in vb.net?

Is it possible to create a honeypot in vb.net. Just a simple honeypot that opperated on a port of my computer. Could it give the ip of the computer trying to connect? or the total bytes of data being sent? Would it be possible to create a fake telnet so time is wasted trying to crack the password? The bytes of data being sent seems doable. Here is wat i have so far:

Code:

---

  Sub honeylisten(ByVal obj As Object)  'Thread
        Dim port = tports(CStr(obj))
        Try
            setresults("Honeypot Succesfully Created on port: " & port & vbNewLine)

            honeypot(CInt(obj)).AcceptTcpClient()
            setresults("Connection Attempt made on: " & port)

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        Finally
            honeypot(CInt(obj)).Server.Close()
            honeypot(CInt(obj)).Stop()
            setresults("Honeypot Closed on port: " & port & vbNewLine)
        End Try
    End Sub

All it does is say a connection attempt was made. Useful to see if your being portscanned. But what else would be possible in vb.net?

does this mean it cant be done?

What the hell is a Honeypot?

Creating a "fake" telnet session is something we wouldnt support on our site through ;)

I think honeypot is a trap to detect the possible net attack. :)

Yes, but seems to me IMO that its just easier to use a firewall and av to keep them out.

Honeypots are not supposed to act as a replacement to firewalls. They give an early warning if you are going to be attacked. And act as a deterent to hackers because they increase the hackers chances of being caught. And im just wondering why a fake telnet session wouldnt be supported by the site. Im not complaining, Im just wondering.

Edit: Would Networking be a better place for this?

honeypot is not firewall, and not supposed to replace firewall.

it is a fake 'pot' to detect network attack. so, in case there is an attack, the system can figure this out, and block it.

it is a way to catch hackers, :) and it is topic in network security.
