As part of an effort to improve honeynet's maintenance process,
several procedures and tools automating high-interaction honeypot
management tasks have been developed. Among the advantages of the
adoption and use of these procedures and tools are the documentation
of the maintenance procedures, the standardization of the collected
data structure, the elimination of errors during the maintenance of
honeypots, the automatization of the tasks that are executed and the
reduction of the time between the deactivation and activation of a
compromised honeypot.
