Nogol Memari, Shaiful Jahari Hashim, Khairulmizam B. Samsudin · 2015
Honeynet represents a new strategy in defending the computer networks and systems against unauthorized access or hacking attempts. Not only it can detect and display the attack pattern or the tools utilized, it can also help in eliminating access to real systems by representing an emulation of the physical systems and services present within the network, thus delaying or confusing the intruder. In this paper we provide an overview of a lightweight container based deployment that emulates popular Linux and Windows services to unsuspecting intruders. Results show the real world attacks against the deployed system.
