Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Honeypot Technology

Abstract

Honeypot is a proactive defence technology introduced by the defence to change the asymmetry of the network offensive and defence game. Through deploying security resources without any production purpose, the defenders can deceive attackers to illegally use them to capture and analyse the attack behaviour to understand the attack tools, methods, speculate the attack intentions and motivations. This paper introduces the development process and the latest development direction of honeypot technology, comprehensively analyses the application situation of artificial intelligence technology in the key mechanisms of honeypot technology, and summarises the latest application of artificial intelligence technology in the deception environment construction, threat data capture and threat data analysis. Finally, the application of artificial intelligence technology in honeypot technology is discussed.
