A Multiphase Dynamic Deployment Mechanism of Virtualized Honeypots Based on Intelligent Attack Path Prediction

The authors propose a multiphase dynamic deployment mechanism for virtualized honeypots (MD2VH) based on intelligent attack path prediction, modeling attack and defense characteristics with a Bayesian state attack graph and a multiphase deployment optimization model based on an extended Markov decision process, and generating deployment strategies by combining online and offline reinforcement learning. They implement a prototype system on software-defined networking and virtualization containers and report experiments on capture rate under simple and complex topologies.
