Abstract

Network infrastructure in a production environment is increasingly targeted by attackers every day. Many resources and services now rely on the internet, making network infrastructure one of the most critical parts to protect, as it hosts numerous company resources and services. Several solutions have already been proposed to prevent attacks, minimize damage, and divert hackers and intruders. Among these, the honeypot stands out as a highly effective tool; it is designed to mimic both a scanner and an attacker, diverting and misleading them within a simulated, production-level environment. This paper will demonstrate the use of a honeynet where a honeypot acts like a real resource to deceive the attacker and analyze their behavior.
