Interesting!

the cloud offers an opportunity to distribute honeypots in the wild almost for free.

I really appreciate your help dear Dr. sherif Khattab,

The links very were helpful in terms of how I could apply the honeypots on the cloud and how to capture the data and analyze it.

But I'm still looking for more technical papers (IEEE, Scopus, etc.)-I tried to find there but unfortunately no luck- so that I get enough materials to go through for my literature review.

Thanks again
