Honeypot Deception Tactics

Abstract

Honeypots on computer networks are most effective when they use deception to fool cyberadversaries into thinking that they are not actual decoy intelligence collectors. Honeypot deception can be made more effective when applied with variety. We discuss the range of deception tactics of which honeypots can take advantage. Ideas can come from deception theory, and honeypot deceptions can benefit from planning and experimentation.
