Hi Paavan,

It all depends on the need for what you want to install the Honeypot.
Like I do install honeypots for "Getting to know how about the
hackers who will use the vulnerable machines, and what extra stpes I
need to take for securing them. In this case I have to install the
vulnerable system and the monitoring tools for getting the
information"

I have also read somewhere that some security administrators do also
use the honeypots to drag the attackers (once it has been detected) to
the honeypot system.

I would suggest you first to get to know about the monitoring tools
like tcpdump, snort etc..
