A STUDY ON HONEYPOT SYSTEM FOR WEB BASED NETWORK

Honeypots are a new approach for network security. A honeypot is a computer security mechanism set to detect, deflect, and tract t attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. A honeypot is used in the area of internet security and cryptography. This we can use to find attacks that are attempting on the network. It will divert the attacker from the location so that the attacker cannot get actual data. It can used in IDS because it will not generate an false alarm because no productive components are running on the system.. This paper would first give a brief introduction to honeypots the types and its uses. This paper will give the brief detail about what is honey pot its type and the structure and component of honeypot.
