Know Your Enemy: Honeynets in Universities The deployment of a honeynet on a large enterprise network such as that found on a major college or university can offer numerous benefits to an institution. Based on our experience, we identified two primary benefits. The first is the ability to use the data collected as a teaching and research tool for any type of computer security related course or research that is being offered. Professors and students can potentially use the honeynet as a testing ground for classes or research. In fact, one student recently received his Ph.D based on our honeynet.
Honeypots Revealed IT Security instantly becomes an issue for anyone who connects their system to the Internet, either via a corporate network, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) from home or wireless device that can be used virtually anywhere when there are wireless access points. Security threats range from hacking intrusions, denial of service attacks to computer worms, viruses and more. We must understand that intrusion to a network or system can never be eliminated but however, can be reduced.
Defeating Honeypots: System Issues, Part 1 This paper will explain how an attacker typically proceeds as he attacks a honeypot for fun and profit. We will introduce several publicly known (or perhaps unknown) techniques and present some diverse tools which help blackhats to discover and interact with honeypots.
Defeating Honeypots: System Issues, Part 2 This paper will explain how an attacker typically proceeds in order to attack a honeypot for fun and profit. In part one we compared honeypots to steganography and then looked at three common techniques for virtualizing honeypots.
The Use of Honeynets to Increase Computer Network Security and User Awareness In this paper, we address how honeynets, networks of computers intended to be compromised, can be used to increase network security in a large organizational environment. We outline the current threats Internet security is facing at present and show how honeynets can be used to learn about those threats for the future. We investigate issues researchers have to take into account before deploying or while running a honeynet. Moreover, we describe how we tied honeynet research into computer security classes at Georgia Tech to successfully train students and spark interest in computer security.
