Sophisticated Honeypot Mechanism - the Autonomous Hybrid Solution for Enhancing Computer System Security

Computer system security is one of the most popular and the fastest evolving Information Technology (IT) areas. Protection of information access, availability and data integrity represents the basic security characteristics desired on information sources. Any disruption of these properties would result in system intrusion and the related security risk. Advanced decoy based technology called Honeypot has a huge potential for the security community and can achieve several goals of other security technologies, which makes it almost universal. Paper is devoted to sophisticated hybrid Honeypot with autonomous feature that allows to, based on the collected system parameters, adapt to the system of deployment. By its presence Honeypot attracts attacker by simulating vulnerabilities and poor security. After initiation of interaction Honeypot will record all attacker activities and after data analysis allows improving security in computer systems.
