Honeypots are physical or virtual machines successfully used as intrusion detection tools to detect worm-infected hosts. Denial of service (DoS) attack consumes the resources of a remote client or network itself, there by denying or degrading the service to the legitimate users. In a DoS defense mechanism, a honeypot acts as a detective server among the pool of servers in a specific network; where any packet received by the honeypot is most likely a packet from an attacker. This paper points out a number of drawbacks such as Legitimate Attacker and Link Unreachable problem in the existing honeypot schemes. This paper proposes a new efficient honeypot model to solve all the existing problems by opening a virtual communication port for any specific communication between an authorized client and server; and by providing facility to act as an Active Server (AS) for any honeypot.
