Defeating Hackers Through a JAVA Based Honeypot Deployment

V. Maheswari and P.E. Sankaranarayanan
A Honeypot is a program, machine or system, which is used for network security. The basic idea is to deceive the attackers by making the honeypot seem like a legitimate system. It traps attacks, records intrusion information about tools and activities of a hacking process, and prevents attacks outbound the compromised system. We propose a system, which is used for identifying the blackhats’in a network and recording their activities like when they break in and what are their motives. This is done by Data control, Data capture and Data Duplication mechanisms using a honeypot developed in JAVA. We implement these mechanisms to control the intruders and capture their activities without them knowing that they are being under control. This helps in collecting the information about the attacks and the areas of attacks and to make the network security stronger.
