I set up a honeypot server in my home office expecting nothing, it got hit by a botnet in under 12 hours.

Call that a honeypot, not a server.

Look at it from a security angle. If that's a honeypot like davis.dakota says, it's a bad one. Real ones are boring, made to look like a forgotten payroll database. This thing screams "hack me" with weird open ports. Catches script kiddies, not real threats. Just wastes everyone's time.
