In general, in one aspect, a system for providing honeypot network services may monitor network activity, and detect network activity indicative of network service discovery by a first device, for example, port scanning. The system may present a temporarily available network service to the first device in response to detecting the activity indicative of port scanning, for example, by redirecting traffic at an unassigned network address to a honeypot network service. The system may monitor communication between the first device and the presented honeypot network service to determine whether the monitored communication is indicative of a threat, and determine that the first device is compromised based on the monitored communication between the first device and the presented honeypot network service. The system may initiate measures to protect the network from the compromised first device.
