Design of virtual honeynet collaboration system in existing security research networks
Jason Chih-Hung Chang, Yi-Lang Tsai · 2010
This paper proposes the virtual honeynet collaboration system (VHS) to improve the designs and concepts of the honeynet architectures. Using virtualization technologies (VTs) as a development platform, the proposed approach combines honeynet technologies to develop a new virtual honeynet architecture that implements VHS. This study also proposes the honeypot redirect-outbound (HRO) algorithm and the honeypot redirect-inbound (HRI) algorithm to solve the problems of honeypot module (HM) parallelism operation and bypass security module (SM) issues. Using a modular design concept, each module can be customized according to different needs, making the VHS superior to the conventional, modified, and hybrid honeynet design.
