Abstract

A modern technology in the area of intrusion detection is honeypot technology that unlike common IDSs tends to provide the attacker with all the necessary resources needed for a successful attack. Honeypots provide a platform for studying the methods and tools used by the intruders (blackhat community), thus deriving their value from the unauthorized use of their resources. This paper discusses the design of a dynamic honeypot, which is an autonomous honeypot capable of adapting in a dynamic and constantly changing network environment. The dynamic honeypot approach integrates passive or active probing and virtual honeypots. This approach addresses the challenge of deploying and configuring virtual honeypots.
