From Evasion to Resilience: Mapping Anti‐Honeypot Strategies and Their Mitigation

The authors conduct a systematic literature review and introduce a taxonomy characterizing honeypot detection techniques across contextual and technical dimensions, framing detection as identifying inconsistencies between observable system properties and attacker expectations. They map existing evasion and detection methods to this taxonomy, analyze the gap between academic techniques and those used in practice, and outline mitigation strategies and design principles aimed at improving honeypot resilience.

The authors conduct a systematic literature review and introduce a taxonomy characterizing honeypot detection techniques across contextual and technical dimensions, framing detection as identifying inconsistencies between observable system properties and attacker expectations. They map existing evasion and detection methods to this taxonomy, analyze the gap between academic techniques and those used in practice, and outline mitigation strategies and design principles aimed at improving honeypot resilience.
