Design and Implementation of a Low-interaction Honeypot Based on Apache
Hao Huang · 2006
Honeypot is a new tool for network defence.The difficulty of designing a Honeypot lies in the success dis- guise and deception.Many Honeypots use scripts to simulate services,and put static deception into practice to protect network.But they could expose themselves easily.This paper designs and implements a low-interaction Honeypot based on the Apache server,named Honeyweb.It has four functions:http protocol detection,dynamic deception, working with other network security devices and log.It can dynamicly response to different http requests.The expri- ment indicates that depolying the Honeyweb will influence hackers' judgement,consume their resources,even stop at- tack.So Honeyweb can reach its purpose of active defence and preventing Web servers from attack.
