HADES misleads hackers by creating an alternate reality

Cyber researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are applying deceptive strategies in defending systems against hackers. Deception strategies are being applied through the use of a recently patented alternative reality by the name of HADES (High-fidelity Adaptive Deception & Emulation System). Instead of obstructing or removing a hacker upon infiltration into a system, HADES leads them to a simulated reality in which cloned virtual hard drives, data sets, and memory that have been inconspicuously altered, are presented. The goal is to introduce doubt to adversaries.
