WMN has been a field of active research in the recent years. Lot of research has focused various routing mechanism but very little effort has been made towards attack detection or intrusion detection. In this paper, we propose an attack detection approach for wireless mesh network using Honeypot technique. A Honeypot is a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked or compromis...

Honeypots are computer systems designed for no purpose other than recording attacks on them. Cyberattackers should avoid them since honeypots jeopardize the secrecy of attack methods and it is hard to launch attacks from them. This suggests that a computer system might pretend to be a honeypot to scare away attackers, reducing the number of attacks and their severity. This could be done on ordi...

This paper presents the design and discusses the results of a secured high-interaction honeypot. The challenge is to have a honeypot that welcomes attackers, allows userland malicious activities but prevents system corruption. The honeypot must authorize real malicious activities. It must ease the analysis of those activities. A clustered honeypot is proposed for two kinds of hosts. The first c...

This paper presents a new hybrid honeypot archi-tecture which focuses on the coverage of large IPv6 address spaces. Results from a 15-months darknet experiment verify that attackers and researchers utilise various approaches to scan wide and unforeseeable IPv6 address ranges which cannot be managed with current honeypot solutions. The huge IPv6 address space not only makes it hard for attackers...

A honeypot apparatus, as a perspective security technology has proven itself worth deploying by various malicious records made. The next step in deploying the technology can be an independent hardware device with the incorporated honeypot behaviour. Such a solution would bring an ease in deployment together with a high throughput it would be able to support to the area of network auditing and m...

Honeypots, which are traps designed to resemble easy to compromise computer systems, have become essential tools for security professionals and researchers because of their significant contribution in disclosing the underworld of cybercirmes. However, recent years have witnessed the development of several anti-honeypot technologies. Botmasters can exploit the fact that honeypots should not part...

In recent years, with the rapid growth of the Internet applications and services, botnet becomes one of the most severe threats on the Internet. Because the botnets can be automatically evolved as different localized versions in a short period of time, how to find an effective and efficient approach to detect and notify the Botnet attack becomes an important and interesting issue. To cope with ...

Android, the name is quite enough to show its dominance in the mobile computing world. Android is now the market leader among all its competitors. As, it is the largest shareholder in the market it has become bull’s eye for the attackers. Security is one of the major concerns for android users today. It has become the most viable target of security threats. With the increase in power and featur...
