The investigation on cowrie honeypot logs in establishing rule signature snort

The study, attributed to the authors, examines Cowrie Honeypot logs to inform the improvement of Snort rule signatures against brute force attacks. Snort acts as an intrusion prevention system and Cowrie as a tool to investigate anomalous behavior during such attacks; the authors report packet-matching processing times in microseconds for Hydra, Medusa and Ncrack attacks.
