HYBRID CYBER DECEPTION FRAMEWORK FOR PROACTIVE AND INTELLIGENT NETWORK

The authors present the Hybrid Cyber Deception System (HCDS), described as a Python-developed proactive tool that combines honeypots and honeytokens in a dynamically adaptive mode to simulate realistic services and redirect attackers in controlled, instrumented settings. The system integrates a deception-driven alerts correlation engine built on Python, Pandas and Scikit-learn, along with Moving Target Defense principles for continuous modulation of network parameters and decoy distribution, and was tested in a simulated environment with Windows and Ubuntu servers to profile attackers and detect complex attack vectors.
