videos, in order to deceive an attacker into believing that they have co-opted a camera system"
Scientists have developed a sophisticated "honeypot" system designed to deceive hackers attempting to infiltrate U.S. military networks. This system, known as the Honeypot Intrusion Detection System (HIDS), consists of fake security cameras and networks that mimic real military infrastructure. The setup includes virtual machines, fake data, and decoy systems that appear vulnerable to attract cyber attackers. Once hackers engage with these decoys, the system not only logs their activities but also analyzes their methods, providing valuable insights into their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). This information helps in enhancing real security measures and understanding the evolving landscape of cyber threats. The project, led by researchers from the University of Florida, aims to protect sensitive military information by diverting and studying malicious cyber activities.
