A Review on Honeypot as an Intrusion Detection System for Wireless Network

Honeypots are decoy computer resources set up for the purpose of monitoring and logging the activities of entities that probe, attack or compromise them. Honeypot does work as an Intrusion Detection System which detect the attacker in a network. Activities on honeypots can be considered suspicious by definition, as there is no point for users to interact with these systems. In this paper, we proposed a honeypot system in the wireless network to attract the attackers. We have used different fake websites to do so. Honeypot helps in detecting intrusion attacking on the system. The information gathered by watching a honeypot being probed is invaluable. The honeypot act as a normal system in the network having fake detail or invaluable information. It gives information about attacks and attack patterns. The Honeypot will make the attacker to attack the particular sites and side by side monitor its illegal steps to confirm about its identity. This proposed work will make the IP address of attacker to be blocked for further access of any site in the network. The proposed model has more advantages that can response accurately and swiftly to unknown attacks and lifetime safer for the network security. In future the network can be preserved by getting the information regarding the attacker from the Honeypot system.
