Abstract: The number of cyberattacks worldwide since the Covid-19 epidemic has reached an all-time high as they continue to rise day by day. This assault is typically carried out by criminals who want to steal personal data or commit financial fraud. As can be seen, data is the new kind of currency. Therefore, maintaining privacy is crucial. Since the attackers utilise techniques for concealment, such as anonymizing proxies or Virtual Private Networks (VPN), spotting unauthorised users might be challenging. There is a model to identify how network consumption can be categorised, detected, and tracked using that manner. Using these services to conceal their identity, the attacker launches attacks using SSH and HTTP. Other applications with the same criteria can use this strategy. The most frequent data breaches result in too much loss for businesses. Any person who hits a website's server is considered an attacker. typically to collect user data, shut down the website, or make inappropriate runtime changes to the website. Cyberpunks or crackers will employ a honeypot to find this and will be able to obtain their IP address. Once it has the IP address, it can follow the attacker's geolocation and determine their latitude and longitude. Even though they are utilising a proxy or VPN. This strategy will aid in locating the attacker, allowing access to their system logs and other pertinent information. As a result, it may monitor IP hidden behind VPN or a proxy and learn more about the attacker
