Honeyboost: Boosting honeypot performance with data fusion and anomaly detection

作者:

Highlights:

• Existing honeypot + network anomaly detection methods produce high false positives and do not focus on insider attacks.

• Honeyboost uses node-level real network data from inside a LAN.

• Honeyboost identifies most anomalous nodes in the LAN before they access the honeypot.

• Honeyboost is an unsupervised network anomaly detection method with low false positive rates.

• Honeyboost gives deeper insights into the behavior of anomalous nodes in the network.
