Rootconf 2025 Annual Conference CfP

The talk demonstrates how implementing honeypots and honeytokens through Cloudflare provides an accessible, low-cost security layer that dramatically improves threat detection.

We’ll exlore how these deceptive techniques like honeypots and honeytokens are designed & implemented using Cloudflare’s ecosystem.

It’ll focus on how to create deceptive elements that reveal attacker behaviour, integrate them into existing infrastructure, and establish appropriate alerting mechanisms. It’ll cover scalable approaches for both enterprise environments and resource-constrained startups.

Key Takeaways

• Deploy strategic honeytokens (fake credentials, tokens, URLs) and honeypots (deceptive endpoints) using Cloudflare’s platform
• Establish effective monitoring systems that transform honeytoken triggers into actionable security intelligence
