Generating Network Traps as Proactive Defense Against snoopers

Abstract

Now-a-days attacks have been increased on networks in various types. There are numerous ways prevailing on the internet in order to compromise a network and the sensitive information of the users in the network. Various occurrences of the network breach and data breach are being reported in a large scale. In order to minimize attacks and the threats occurred by the attackers, one of the ways is to secure our network and the all the traffic from inbound-to-outbound connections should be secured. For this purpose, we use the DMZ (Demilitarized Zones) which acts as a deviation or a legitimate server for the attackers which also servers for the purpose the setting up a honeypot along with the DMZ that is deployed parallel to the network or the server. This reduces the incidents of breaches while leveraging the chance of observing the attacker’s activities and secure the communications with the use of other tools.
