NETWORK SECURITY USING HONEYPOT

📄 Project Abstract

Effective network security is largely dependent on understanding the internet's current and emerging threats. To protect information systems and their users, precise, concise, high quality data n malicious operations is of vital significance (Yegneswaran, Barford, and Paxson 2005). Discovering vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, Shellshock, and Poodle and their extensive prevalence across a number of operating systems attracts government attention to safety of the system. As noted with Heartbleed, attackers were much quicker than suppliers could generate and roll out patches in exploiting the vulnerabilities. Relying solely on traditional defense lines like Intrusion Detection Systems and dynamic firewalls alone does not provide a holistic coverage on the detection of novel and emerging patterns of assaults. (Schneier, 2000) "Security is a process, not a product." This popular quote is well echoed by the phenomenon that although there are a big range of safety instruments available tod...
