Using Honeypot Programs for Providing Defense of Banking Network Infrastructure

the main task of the work was to analyze the possible options for using honeypot lures to protect effectively the network perimeter of a banking system. The analyses have been performed using a low-interactive program honeypot, which purpose is to protect open Secure Shell ports on servers of the banking network infrastructure. As an experimental result of the honeypot’s successful using there were received data on the attacker’s actions. Their detailed carried out analysis as well as application results have been presented in the graphs and visualizations with additional programs. In particular, the most frequently used types of logins as well as passwords values during active phase of attacks had been analyzed and due to the obtained results were proposed methods and tools allowing avoid such types of attacks. Recommendations for developing network secure perimeter of a banking system according to the modern information security requirements had been proposed.
