The rapid evolution of cyber threats necessitates innovative solutions for detecting and analyzing malicious activity. Honeypots, which are decoy systems designed to lure and interact with attackers, have emerged as a critical component in…

Critical Infrastructure (CI) is prone to cyberattacks. Several techniques have been developed to protect CI against such attacks. In this work, we describe a honeypot based on a cyber twin for a water treatment plant. The honeypot is…

Honeypots are computing systems used to capture unauthorized, often malicious, activity. While honeypots can take on a variety of forms, researchers agree the technology is useful for studying adversary behavior, tools, and techniques.…

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has raised concerns about the security of connected devices. There is a need to develop suitable and cost-efficient methods to identify vulnerabilities in IoT devices in order to address…

Honeypots are decoy systems that lure attackers by presenting them with a seemingly vulnerable system. They provide an early detection mechanism as well as a method for learning how adversaries work and think. However, over the last years,…

A honeypot is a type of security facility deliberately created to be probed, attacked and compromised. It is often used for protecting production systems by detecting and deflecting unauthorized accesses. It is also useful for investigating…

This paper presents an experimental study and the lessons learned from the observation of the attackers when logged on a compromised machine. The results are based on a six months period during which a controlled experiment has been run…

Honeypot is an important cyber defense technique that can expose attackers new attacks. However, the effectiveness of honeypots has not been systematically investigated, beyond the rule of thumb that their effectiveness depends on how they…
