HosTaGe

HosTaGe is a lightweight, low-interaction, portable, and generic honeypot for mobile devices that aims at the detection of malicious, wireless network environments. As most malware propagates over the network via specific protocols, a low-interaction honeypot located at a mobile device can check wireless networks for actively propagating malware. We envision such honeypots running on all kinds of mobile devices, e.g., smartphones and tablets, to provide a quick assessment of the potential security state of a network.
