One of the widely used cyber deception techniques is decoying, where defenders create fictitious machines (i.e., honeypots) to lure attackers. Honeypots are deployed to entice attackers, but their effectiveness depends on their…

Cyber deception techniques that are tightly intertwined with applications pose significant technical challenges in production systems. Security measures are usually the responsibility of a system operator, but they are typically limited to…

In the field of network security, with the ongoing arms race between attackers, seeking new vulnerabilities to bypass defense mechanisms and defenders reinforcing their prevention, detection and response strategies, the novel concept of…

This paper explores deploying a cyber honeypot system to learn how cyber defenders can use a honeypot system as a deception mechanism to gather intelligence. Defenders can gather intelligence about an attacker such as the autonomous system…

Cyber deception has recently received increasing attentions as a promising mechanism for proactive cyber defense. Cyber deception strategies aim at injecting intentionally falsified information to sabotage the early stage of attack…

Deception is rapidly growing as an important tool for cyber defence, complementing existing perimeter security measures to rapidly detect breaches and data theft. One of the factors limiting the use of deception has been the cost of…

Honeywords are decoy passwords that can be added to a credential database; if a login attempt uses a honeyword, this indicates that the site's credential database has been leaked. In this paper we explore the basic requirements for…

Keyloggers remain a serious threat in modern cybersecurity, silently capturing user keystrokes to steal credentials and sensitive information. Traditional defenses focus mainly on detection and removal, which can halt malicious activity but…

Cyber deception aims to distract, delay, and detect network attackers with fake assets such as honeypots, decoy credentials, or decoy files. However, today, it is difficult for operators to experiment, explore, and evaluate deception…

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,…

Honeyword is a representative "honey" technique that employs decoy objects to mislead adversaries and protect the real ones. To assess the security of a Honeyword system, two metrics--flatness and success-number--have been proposed and…

Honeypots are a deceptive technology used to capture malicious activity. The technology is useful for studying attacker behavior, tools, and techniques but can be difficult to implement and maintain. Historically, a lack of measures of…

Deception technology has proven to be a sound approach against threats to information systems. Aside from well-established honeypots, decoy elements, also known as honeytokens, are an excellent method to address various types of threats.…

Cybersecurity is developing rapidly, and new methods of defence against attackers are appearing, such as Cyber Deception (CYDEC). CYDEC consists of deceiving the enemy who performs actions without realising that he/she is being deceived.…

Introduced by Juels and Rivest in 2013, Honeywords, which are decoy passwords stored alongside a real password, appear to be a proactive method to help detect password credentials misuse. However, despite over a decade of research, this…

A honeypot, which is a kind of deception strategy, has been widely used for at least 20 years to mitigate cyber threats. Decision-makers have believed that honeypot strategies are intuitive and effective, since honeypots have successfully…

Honeypots, as a strategic cyber-deception mechanism designed to emulate authentic interactions and bait unauthorized entities, often struggle with balancing flexibility, interaction depth, and deception. They typically fail to adapt to…

With the ever growing networking capabilities and services offered to users, attack surfaces have been increasing exponentially, additionally, the intricacy of network architectures has increased the complexity of cyber-defenses, to this…

Adversarial reconnaissance is a crucial step in sophisticated cyber-attacks as it enables threat actors to find the weakest points of otherwise well-defended systems. To thwart reconnaissance, defenders can employ cyber deception…

In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the utilization of cyber deception has gained prominence as a proactive defense strategy against sophisticated attacks. This paper presents a comprehensive survey that investigates the crucial…
