| Abstract | Honeypots are widely used to increase the security of systems and networks, but they only observe the activities that are done against them. A honeypot will not be able to detect an exploit in another system unless it interacts directly with it. In addition to the weakness caused by the normal behavior of honeypots, our research shows that honeypots may succumb to back door attacks. To prove this claim, a backdoor attack is performed on the popular Honeypot system. Experimental results show that the Kfsensor Honeypot is bypassed using a backdoor attack, and network protection is disabled even with the Honeypot enabled. |
