exploits in a honeypot is an unusual event). For the latter, we want a better understanding of the areas of interest and hidden links between blackhat teams. One way to achieve these goals is to increase the verbosity of our honeypot logs and traces so that we learn every single action the intruder made. The most common tools for doing this are Sebek (http://project.honeynet.org/tools/ sebek/) ...

Honeypot technology has been widely used to overcome the limitations of firewall technology, many intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, which detected several attacks but couldnot detect new attacks. This paper discusses the honeypot technology according to the existed shortage in the honeypot system and proposes a distributed system which remedy the existing deficiency in ...

This paper presents a study of successful dictionary attacks against a SSH server and their network-based detection. On the basis of experience in the protection of university network we developed a detection algorithm based on a generic SSH authentication pattern. Thanks to the network-based approach, the detection algorithm is host independent and highly scalable. We deployed a high-interacti...

A honeypot is a non-production system, design to interact with cyber-attackers to collect intelligence on attack techniques and behaviors. There has been great amount of work done in the field of network intrusion detection over the past three decades. With networks getting faster and with the increasing dependence on the Internet both at the personal and commercial level, intrusion detection b...

We have deployed a honeypot sensor node in Uganda that is connected to a distributed honeypot system managed by Leurrecom.org Honeypot project, which constitutes of a large number of different honeypot sensors distributed across different continents. Once joined the project, the system allows access to the whole dataset collected by all sensors in the distributed system. We use the data collect...

Botnets have become one of the major attacks in current Internet due to their illicit profitable financial gain. Meanwhile, honeypots have been successfully deployed in many computer security defense systems. Since honeypots set up by security defenders can attract botnet compromises and become spies in exposing botnet membership and botnet attacker behaviors, they are widely used by security d...

The objective of honeypot database (context honeypot) is to identify a potential privacy violator. A suspected user’s interaction with the database is analyzed to determine suspicion. Such a system must satisfy certain characteristics. One of the such characteristics is obliviousness. The success of such a system depends on its remaining oblivious to the suspected user. In this demo paper, we d...

A honeypot is a type of security facility deliberately created to be probed, attacked, and compromised. It is often used for protectingproduction systemsbydetecting anddeflectingunauthorized accesses. It is also useful for investigating the behavior of attackers, and in particular, unknown attacks. For the past 17 years plenty of effort has been invested in the research and development of honey...
