Abstract
The number of threats from the Internet has been growing in the recent period and every user or administrator should protect against them. For choosing the most suitable protection the detailed information about threats are required. Honeypots and honeynets are effective tools for obtaining details about current and recent threats. The article gives an introduction into honeypots and honeynets and shows some interesting results from initial 3-months period of the implementation of a small honeynet made of 3 Dionaea and one Kippo low-interaction honeypots. Basic conclusions regarding the amount of currently actively spread malware and their type are formulated.
