IoT honeypot: A review from researcher's perspective

Abstract

Honeypot is a tool with an isolated and separated network that mimic a real valuable network that would be of value for attackers. It can be seen as a fake system that looks like a real one with an aim to attract attackers to fall into it and thus monitor the interaction between attackers and the infected device. As the time flow, honeypot has become one of an important subject to researchers in information security for attack recognition and deception toolkit. The present considers implementing honeypot on IoT since IoT device demands target of attackers, plus it is one of the popular platforms in this century. With the fast progression of computer and Internet, a honeypot can provide us with the information of malware attack or even the attack patterns. In this paper, a survey of honeypot in IoT is presented. © 2018 IEEE
