What we know
The paper describes a computational intelligence enabled honeypot intended to discover and predict attempted fingerprinting attacks while it interacts with attackers. According to the authors, the system uses principal components analysis and a fuzzy inference system, and it was tested against five fingerprinting tools: Nmap, Xprobe2, NetScanTools Pro, SinFP3 and Nessus.
