Network traffic intelligence using a low interaction honeypot

HoneyC - The Low-Interaction Client Honeypot

A honeypot is a security device that is designed to lure malicious activity to itself. Capturing such malicious activity allows for studying it to understand the operations and motivation of attackers, and subsequently helps to better secure computers and networks. A honeypot does not have any production value. ”It’s a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised...

Implementing network defence using deception in a wireless honeypot

The advance of 802.11b wireless networking has been beset by inherent and in-built security problems. Network security tools that are freely available may intercept network transmissions readily and with stealth, making organisations highly vulnerable to attack. Deception is an essential element of effective security that has been used in networks to understand attack methods and intrusions. Th...

Computer Network Time Synchronization using a Low Cost GPS Engine

Accurate and reliable time is necessary for financial and legal transactions, transportation, distribution systems, and many other applications. Time synchronization protocols such as NTP (the Network Time Protocol) have kept clocks of such applications synchronized to each other for many years. Nowadays there are many commercial GPS based NTP time server products at the market but they almost ...
