Paper2017
Material reviewed: AbstractThis work proposes SIPHON, a scalable high-interaction physical honeypot architecture for IoT devices. According to the authors, the design uses geographically distributed 'wormholes' to expose a few physical devices across many Internet IP addresses. The authors describe a large-scale experiment with real devices (IP cameras, an NVR, and an IP printer) deployed across multiple cities and countries, recording traffic and login attempts over two months.

Paper2017
Material reviewed: AbstractBased on cooperation with AWN University and the Indonesia Honeypot Project (IHP) of the Ministry of Communications and Informatics, the authors describe using a honeynet to protect and monitor public cloud computing networks, and analyzing its datalog through a k-means approach to profile DDoS attacks based on the timestamp recorded in the data.

Material reviewed: AbstractThe authors propose a versatile virtual honeynet management tool for deploying heterogeneous types of honeypots through a dynamic configuration approach that adapts to mutable network environments. The stated purpose is to support investigation of malicious behavior where general platforms for versatile honeynet deployment are lacking.

NetworkDecoy
Paper2016
Material reviewed: AbstractThe authors propose an ant colony-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) detection technique that uses roaming virtual honeypots together with a multi-level secure architecture to collect information about intruders at different levels of the network and to limit the spread of the affected area. Detection relies on ant colony optimisation, using pheromone deposits in the considered area, and on a multi-level IP log table, aiming to reduce traffic overhead and wasted bandwidth.

Paper2016
Material reviewed: AbstractThe authors propose a statistical framework for rigorously analyzing honeypot-captured cyber attack data, built on the concept of a stochastic cyber attack process. According to the presented case study, low-interaction honeypot data exhibits Long-Range Dependence, which the authors state could enable prediction of attack rates with good accuracy.

Material reviewed: AbstractThe work proposes an ontological model for identifying the most common types of attacks from the use of honeynets, and outlines its implementation in working scenarios. Its purpose is to support decision-making about the placement of computer elements and components within an organization.

Material reviewed: AbstractAccording to the authors, this paper describes an automated algorithm designed to detect attacks before they occur and reduce false positive and negative rates, using malicious traffic data captured through a distributed honeypot network.

Paper2016
Material reviewed: AbstractThe paper presents an architecture that extends a previous system for tracking IPv6 addresses discarded by MT6D nodes, adding automation and database integration. According to the authors, the solution can deploy a honeypot on demand in an LXC container based on traffic patterns observed on a discarded address, and it lets an MT6D host query the solution database for activity on its relinquished addresses as a JSON object in order to adjust MT6D scheme parameters; the authors report a proof-of-concept and an analysis of feasibility and scalability.

Paper2015
Material reviewed: AbstractThe authors propose a game-theoretic model for mechanism design in deception-based defense, applied specifically to honeypots in network defense. They analyze cheap-talk games and an extended version with evidence, where the receiver can detect deception with some probability. According to the authors, the model generalizes traditional signaling games and complete-information games, showing numerically that deception detection can eliminate pure-strategy equilibria.

Material reviewed: AbstractThe authors propose a collaboration between network intrusion detection systems (IDS) and honeypot technology, together with a mechanism to correct signatures based on honeypot analysis, aiming to reduce erroneous alerts and improve detection of zero-day attacks. Across fifteen evaluated attack scenarios, the authors report that this approach reduced false alerts and zero-day attacks by 85%.

Paper2013
Material reviewed: AbstractThe paper formulates an attack-defense scenario as a mathematical model in which the defender applies both proactive and reactive defense mechanisms against attackers with different attack strategies, assuming attackers have incomplete information and imperfect knowledge of the target network. The authors report that, based on their experiment results, a proactive defense strategy is suitable against aggressive attackers under "winner takes all" circumstances, while a reactive strategy works better against less aggressive attackers under "fight to win or die" circumstances.
