Reducing Honeypot Log Storage Capacity Consumption – Cron Job with Perl-Script Approach

Honeypot is a decoy computer system that is used to attract and monitor hackers’ activities in the network. The honeypot aims to collect information from the hackers in order to create a more secure system. However, the log file generated by honeypot can grow very large when heavy traffic occurred...
