A software router based predictive honeypot roaming scheme for network security and attack analysis

Abstract

Our contribution through this paper is to provide a novel approach for securing hosts inside the home network using predictive attack detection and honeypots. We have given a unique method to secure hosts inside the home network. After securing these hosts we redirect attacker traffic to honeypots for further analysis. Our system also offers techniques to roam an attacker over multiple installed honeypots. This in turn helps to load share the attack traffic between honeypots and to record maximum number of attacks. This method also helps to address key problem of determining honeypot location for maximum attack exposure.
