Evaluation Of The Efficiency Of Honeypots In Opposing Flooding Attack

The significance of internet security cannot be overstated for both individuals and organizations, given the increasing threat of malicious cyber-attacks. To enhance internet security, implementing honeypot system is a practical solution. A honeypot is a highly effective security forensic solution that minimizes the possibilities of intrusion and detects potential security vulnerabilities within a system This paper gives a thorough analysis of honeypots and various attack types, and it emphasizes how they may be used to increase the security of a company and its vital network systems. This study uses a pent box honeypot to evaluate the honeypot system's defense against flooding attacks and look at the recorded intrusion attempts. Honeypots, which serve as a line of defense for our networks, have shown to be a successful method of increasing internet security. The study uses the Pent Box tool to deploy honeypots, test them against syn assaults, and analyse the results based on log data. Honeypots can lessen computer network threats and give significant statistics about probable system security holes.
