HONEYPOT BASED INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM

Abstract

Honeypot is a computer security mechanism set to detect, deflect or counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information. It has enormous potential for the security community. This can be modeled after any digital asset, including software applications, servers or the network itself. It is intentionally and purposefully designed to look like a legitimate target, resembling the model in terms of structure, components and content and is meant to convince the adversary that they have accessed the actual system and encourage them to spend time within this controlled environment. It acts better than firewalls or intrusion detection system by detecting encrypted attacks in IPv6 networks to capture different types of frauds.
