Honeypots in the age of universal attacks and the Internet of Things
… against the Internet of Things, we revisit honeypots, resources that appear to be legitimate systems. We show that this endeavour was previously limited by a fundamentally flawed generation of honeypots and associated misconceptions. We show with two one-year-long studies that the display of …

Deceptive Environments for Cybersecurity Defense on Low-power Devices
… In that effort of on-going data collection, honeypots have established themselves as a curious and useful tool for deception-based security. Low-powered devices, such as the Raspberry Pi, have found a natural home with some categories of honeypots and are being embraced by the honeypot …

Dealing With Misbehavior In Distributed Systems: A Game-Theoretic Approach
… and the defender in a security game involving honeypots.</p> <p>Multicast cost sharing is an important problem and very few distributed strategyproof mechanisms exist to calculate the costs shares of the users. These mechanisms are susceptible to manipulation by rational nodes. We propose a …

The development of an attack vector using applied levels of deceptive strategy for directing attack in a honeynet
… and securing wired and wireless networks. Honeypots and honeynets are digital entities that are able to emulate the behaviours and functionality of genuine computerised systems. A honeypot's ability to deceive network attack tools may alIow defenders to tailor network countermeasures …

Using detection in depth to counter SCADA-specific advanced persistent threats
… passive device fingerprinting, low- interaction honeypots, and traditional signature- based intrusion detection technologies provides a highly effective capacity for detecting common attack vectors used by APTs. Finally I will show how the integration of these technologies into a single security …

Performance Analysis of Cyber Deception Using Probabilistic Models
… defenses, network address shuffling and honeypots. This work goes on to analyze these models in two scenarios, gaining a foothold and minimum to win, providing insight into the effect both defenses can have under various environments. Finally, this thesis performs an empirical analysis of …

A HONEYPOT FOR SPIES: UNDERSTANDING INTERNET-BASED DATA THEFT
… is a tactic that has been used for a long time. Honeypots allow us to easily plant false data on information systems while we monitor what attackers access and download. This enables us to learn of a potential spy’s interests and intents, helping defenders decide how to concentrate their …

Scalable data analytics pipeline for real-time attack detection: design, validation, and deployment in a honeypot environment
… attack detection through the use of customized honeypots at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Attack detection tools are common and are constantly getting improved, but validating these tools is challenging. One must automate how to identify what data is essential to …

Forensic framework for honeypot analysis
… anti-forensic techniques have been developed. Honeypots and production systems have several intrinsic differences. These differences can be exploited to produce honeypot data sources that are not currently available from production systems. This research seeks to examine possible honeypot data …

Classification of Malicious Web Traffic
… data collected by three high-interaction honeypots, and organized in HTTP sessions, each characterized by 43 different features. The data were divided into multiple vulnerability scans and attack classes. Five batch supervised machine learning algorithms (J48, PART, Support Vector Machine …

Extraction of patterns in selected network traffic for a precise and efficient intrusion detection approach
… to data acquired from three medium interaction honeypots emulating the SSH service. Feature selection was used to enhance the performance of the selected machine learning algorithms. A pre-processing procedure was developed to organise the acquired datasets to present the sequences of adversary …

Categorizing Blog Spam
… of the underlying botnets that interact with our honeypots. We use Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to determine that creating semantic-based models of botnets are sufficient for distinguishing them from one another. We also find that the syntactic structure of posts has …

The role of communication in the foraging process of social bees
… of food already stored. In a colony with full honeypots, no new bees are allocated to foraging. These results help us understand how the allocation of workers to the task of food collection is regulated according to external and internal nest conditions in bumble bees.

Cyber Attack Modelling using Threat Intelligence. An investigation into the use of threat intelligence to model cyber-attacks based on elasticsearch and honeypot data analysis
Cyber-attacks have become an increasing threat to organisations as well as the wider public. This has led to greatly negative impacts on the economy at large and on the everyday lives of people. Every successful cyber attack on targeted devices and networks highlights the weaknesses within the …
