    Study Notes

    Honeypot Systems

    • Designed to attract cyber attackers, deceiving them into engaging with a decoy system.
    • Helps to gather intelligence on attack methods and motives, improving overall security posture.

    Protected Honeypot

    • Referenced as a "padded honeypot," this type is constructed with advanced security to make unauthorized access challenging.

    Entrapment in Network Security

    • Refers to strategies aimed at luring cybercriminals into a controlled environment to capture their methods.

    Pen Register Application

    • Monitors and records the numbers dialed from a specific telephone line, aiding in tracking communications during investigations.

    Fingerprinting in Cybersecurity

    • The process of gathering information about a system's characteristics, such as software and hardware used, to identify vulnerabilities.

    Back Hack

    • A counteractive measure where an attacker returns to compromise adversaries who infiltrated their system, often seeking retribution or intelligence.

    Main Purpose of Honeypot Systems

    • To deceive and distract attackers from actual valuable targets, allowing system administrators to study attack behaviors and techniques.

    Enticement in Cybersecurity

    • Involves creating attractive opportunities or systems designed to lure attackers into revealing their identities or methods.

    Trap-and-Trace Application

    • Functions to capture and record the source of incoming network traffic, assisting law enforcement in tracking malicious activities.

    Fingerprinting during Footprinting Phase

    • Involves detailed identification of a target's system architecture and services, providing insight into potential vulnerabilities for future attacks.

    Back Hack Goals

    • Aims to understand the methods and tools used by attackers, potentially neutralizing future threats by exploiting their weaknesses.
