NETWORK SECURITY

World is experiencing a technical revolution in which internets has become a part of everyone 's life . However because of this high end revolution , privacy concerns are also growing in . Now prevention of hacking and spreading of virus through Internet has become a major concern

. Customers are now more concerned about the trust worthiness of the websites to which they submit their sensitive information . Also companies a which have network of computer system are concerned about the concept , since most of their confidential and critical data 's are stored and transferred through this process . Though many software companies are trying to offer protective mechanism for sensitive information online , real solution is yet to be identified . Existing privacy management tools are aimed at controlling the traffic privacy rather than aiming to control and prevent the hacking and virus (Eugene H .Sapfford , 1989

The computer structure should offer us privacy , reliability and guarantee against the hacking of vital information . However , due to increased data transfer especially in regards to money transfers , the risk of hackers invading the system is growing high . This type of complexity leads to vulnerability and develop error in the operating system and in the application programs resulting in incidents such as Internet Worm incident of 1988

The most important aspect of security is recognizing the attackers . To learn more about their tactics , ideas , motivations and techniques researchers have deployed honey pots which will be discussed in this . The basic idea is to give hackers vulnerable system to attack These systems are observed closely , by researchers to understand the behaviour of the attracters

Honeypots are computers which are specially designed to attract hackers for gathering data and hence alert the observers and offer them an insight about what the intruder is attempting

Honeypots decoy attackers to apparently exposed but well observed computer system to learn about the strategy and tools used by the hackers and to improve the system security accordingly . However , the system built-up with the good intentions may sometimes be used in foul applications . This discuss about the implications and complication of honey pots and the types of honey pots used in prevention of malicious attacks

HONEYPOTS

Honeypots ' was the first and recently developed network deception used in internet revolution . Researchers and security specialist have been using various types Honey pots ' since the inception of the internet . Like real Honeypots which attracts insects , this technical Honeypots acts as an attractive target to internet hackers

Honeypots is a tricky system that tries to lure an invader away from critical systems . It acts a watching dog and manages to captures data from the hackers . The system is usually stored with superficially valuable information which is actually fallacious and would not be eschewed by an honest user . Thus...
