5. Design and Implementation of Dynamic Hybrid Virtual Honeypot Architecture for Attack Analysis

Yonas Kibret, Wang Yong
Pages: 108 - 123
Honeypots are dedicated machines whose aim is to delay and divert attackers away from critical resources in order to study new methods and tools used by attackers. However, when looking most of current honeypot systems are statically configured and managed. They are either low interaction honeypot or...
