Honeypots in Network Security: How to monitor and keep track of the newest cyber attacks by trapping hackers (Paperback)

People are checking their e-mails, surfing over the Internet, purchasing goods, playing online games, paying bills on the Internet everyday. However, while performing all these tasks, how many people think about security? Do they know the risks of being attacked, infected by malicious software? How many users are aware of that their computer may be used as zombie machines to target other victim systems? As technology is growing rapidly, newer attacks are appearing. Security is a key point to get over all these issues. 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. 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 also very useful for future threats to keep track of new attacks.

人們每天都在檢查電子郵件、上網冲浪、購買商品、玩線上遊戲、在網路上支付帳單。然而，在執行所有這些任務的同時，有多少人會考慮到安全性呢？他們知道受到攻擊、感染惡意軟體的風險嗎？有多少使用者意識到他們的電腦可能被用作殭屍機器，以攻擊其他受害系統呢？隨著科技的快速發展，新的攻擊方式也不斷出現。安全性是解決所有這些問題的關鍵。在這篇論文中，我們將使用蜜罐來建立一個真實的情境。

蜜罐是一個精心設計的系統，用來吸引駭客。通過引誘駭客進入系統，可以監控啟動和運行的過程。換句話說，蜜罐是一個看起來像真實系統的陷阱機器，以吸引攻擊者。蜜罐的目的是分析、理解、觀察和追蹤駭客的行為，以創建更安全的系統。蜜罐也非常有用於追蹤新攻擊，以應對未來的威脅。
