It’s that time of the week again: The time where we take a look at what local security bloggers have been up to. Old technology is always improved on and this week we focused on the technology that was improved.

And without further ado … here are the top picks for this week.

#2 – Honeypots: “In the struggle between cyber attackers and cyber defenders, many tools have been built to create a strategic advantage or to gather intelligence.” A great read for cyber defenders as it explains what are honeypots and how they work “honeypots are tools used against attackers to both catch them red-handed and to figure out how they’re doing the dirt.” See what attackers are doing to your system here.
