From the Paper:

"The purpose of the proposed study is to use a honeypot as described further below to determine if Dictionary, Brute force and Hybrid attacks are still in use nowadays or if they do not exist anymore. The proposed study is important for a number of reasons. According to Wible (2003), "While the Internet has revolutionized communication and commerce, it has also created the conditions for a type of crime that can be committed anonymously, from anywhere in the world, and with consequences that are unprecedented in scope" (p. 1577). While many of the attacks on legitimate computer systems are not malicious in nature, the literature will show that computer crimes are on the increase and the techniques being used by computer criminals are likewise becoming increasingly sophisticated."
