Discovering malicious packets amid a cloud of normal activity, whether you use an IDS or gather and analyze machine and device log files on company infrastructure, may be challenging and time consuming. The vulnerability landscape is rapidly evolving, and it will only become worse as more and more developing technologies, such as IoT, Industrial Automation, CPS, Digital Twins, etc are digitally connected. A honey trap aids in identifying malicious packets easily as, after a few rapid calibrations to eliminate false positives. Besides analyzing and reporting particular invasion patterns or toolkits exploited, it also assists in preventing access to actual devices by simulating the genuine systems and applications functioning in the network thus delaying as well as baffling the invader. In order to analyze and evaluate the hackers' behavior, an ensemble of research honeypot detectors has been deployed in our work. This paper delivers a robust outline of the deployment of containerized honeypot deployment, as a direct consequence, these are portable, durable, and simple to deploy and administer. The instrumented approach was monitored and generated countless data points on which significant judgments about the malevolent users' activities and purpose could be inferred.
