Implementation of honeypot to detect and prevent distributed denial of service attack
Irwan Sembiring · 2016
Securing communication is a comprehensive challenge due to the increasing of threats and attacks to network security. By knowing the various of threats and attacks, we can collect broad data from the network, by using honeypot. Implemented honeypot uses low-interaction type that is honeyd and other supporting software such as apache2 and bind9. Based on the research, honeypot is successfully giving responds to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and giving false information such as operation system and open ports which are usually sought by attackers. Log outcome given by honeypot is processed into chart and diagrams which are shown through the network interface by using honeyd-viz software so that the administrator will find it easy to analyze the form of the attacks from the attackers and it also can be used to increase the security of the server.
