What we know
The paper addresses the tension between scalability and fidelity in network honeypots used to gather intelligence on malware, and proposes reducing it through a prototype honeyfarm system called Potemkin. According to the authors, Potemkin uses virtual machines, aggressive memory sharing, and late binding of resources to emulate the execution behavior of individual hosts at large scale.
