HONEYPOT AND INTRUSION DETECTION January 2013-June 2013
Honeypot is a tool which protects the network from the unauthorized access. It is a system that is specifically designed to look vulnerable so that attackers think that it is easy prey. Attackers who probe the machine find a system that is easy to attack and that they believe might contain sensitive information. On the back end, the system logs all the intruders’ probes and attacks. A honeypot can study their method
