Honeypots are designed to ensnare attackers and monitor their activities. Honeypots use the principles of deception such as masking, mimicry, decoying, inventing, repackaging and dazzling to deceive attackers. This paper describes the framework of how to improve the effectiveness of honeypots through the effective use of deception. In this research a legitimate corporate deceptive network is cr...

Over the last decade, and with the complexity of computer systems, information is the main informational assets to protect against theft, loss, falsification and the vulnerabilities of systems. Therefore, the challenge scientists, security researchers are to set up devices and computer systems security tools. In this work, we have tried to address the problem of security with a new architecture...

A system with a high degree of availability and survivability can be created via service duplication on disparate server platforms, where a compromise via a previously unknown attack is detected by a voting mechanism. However, shutting down the compromised component will inform the attacker that the subversion attempt was unsuccessful, and might lead her to explore other avenues of attack. This...

In the coming age of information warfare, information security patterns need to be changed to use an active approach using offensive security mechanisms rather than the traditional passive approach in merely protecting against intrusions. In an active security environment, it is essential that, when detecting an intrusion, it is immediately confronted with methods such as analysing the intrusio...
