ANALYSIS OF SINGLE HONEYPOT AND USING FIREWALL INTRAINING ATTACK ON WIRELESS NETWORK

Abstract

Abstract: Day by day, more and more people are using internet all over the
world. It is becoming a part of everyone’s life. People are checking their e-mails,
surfing over internet, purchasing goods, playing online games, paying bills on the
internet etc. However, while performing all these things, how many people know
about security? Do they know the risk of being attacked, infecting by malicious
software? Even some of the malicious software are spreading over network to create
more threats by users. How many users are aware of that their computer may be used
as zombie computers to target other victim systems? As technology is growing
rapidly, newer attacks are appearing. Security is a key point to get over all these
problems. In this thesis, we will make a real life scenario, using honeypots.
Honeypot is a well designed system that attracts hackers into it. By luring the hacker
into the system, it is possible to monitor the processes that are started and running
on the system by hacker. In other words, honeypot is a trap machine which looks
like a real system in order to attract the attacker. The aim of the honeypot is
analyzing, understanding, watching and tracking hacker’s behaviours in order to
create more secure systems. Honeypot is great way to improve network security
administrators’ knowledge and learn how to get information from a victim system
using forensic tools. Honeypot is also very useful for future threats to keep track of
new technology attacks.
