Dynamic Distributed Honeypot Based on Blockchain

Honeypot technology can be applied to efficiently attract attackers and exhaust their resources. However, the traditional static honeypot is easy to be recognized by anti-honeypot technology. By contrast, most of the dynamic honeypots can simulate the real system in time, thus interacting with an intruder in disguise. In this paper, we employ the dynamic property of honeypot in four kinds of services of our system. However, this dynamic property shows up in a location and identification, indicating that genuine or fake services (honeypots) are changeable in different hosts. Thus, the dynamic property of our system differs from the dynamic honeypot aforementioned. Besides, we adopt the blockchain platform (Ethereum) to decentralize our system and store the port access data by delivering a private chain. To illustrate the effectiveness of our scheme in theory and practice, security analysis, eavesdropping attack, scanning attack, and DoS attack experiments are conducted. The results show that our scheme is valid in safeguarding against network attack.
