Researchers have introduced Honeyval, a new evaluation framework designed to assess the effectiveness of Large Language Models (LLMs) when used as HTTP honeypots. This framework addresses the limitations of previous evaluation methods by incorporating AI hacking agents as attackers and grounding honeypots in 16 backend applications. Experiments using Honeyval demonstrate that LLM-powered honeypots can engage attackers for significantly longer periods than traditional rule-based systems and are less likely to be detected, even by advanced AI models, while maintaining a cost advantage.
