Intrusion Detection in Network using HoneyPOT Technology

Abstract

The network security is the issue which rose due to self-configuring and decentralized nature of the network. The malicious nodes may join the network due to which various type of active and passive attacks are possible in the network. The passive type of attack is the type of attack in which malicious nodes do not affect the network performance. The active type of attacks is the attacks in which malicious nodes reduce networks performance in terms of various parameters. The black hole, wormhole, sinkhole, Sybil etc are the various type of active attacks which reduce network. In recent times, various techniques have been proposed which detect malicious nodes from the network. To improve the security of the network, techniques of the data encryption, intrusion detection systems are proposed in recent times. This paper mainly aims to detect the bad traffic and attackers by deploying Honetpot Technology to improve the network security of the enterprise. This paper shows that how Honeypot works in real-time environment and how it responds when any unwanted activity occurs in the network.
