Abstract: As conventional honeynet's low hardware utilization, complex configuration and difficult management arc increasingly appearing,how to solve these problems has been getting more and more researcher's attention. Aiming at the problems that honeynet currently is facing, the paper proposed the necessity of using virtual technology to construct honcynet. Through the studying on core functions of honcynet, the paper analyzed and provided the workflow of core func- lions in virtual systerm. Based on that, we designed and implemented a proposal of the virtual honeynet.The results show that the established virtual honcynet works well and solves the shortcomings of conventional honcynet in a certain extent.
