Abstract: A honeypot is a decoy computer system for trapping hackers or tracking unconventional or new hacking methods. Generally as the number of users for a web service increases , the issues related to security arise too. So does the need arise to secure these systems for reliable and efficient working-One such tool is-Honeypot. As the flow of data increases, the probability of gaining access to confidential data is also high. So detecting vulnerability becomes a preliminary task in order to overcome such malicious activities. In this study, the simulated computers on network are been secured using Honeypot’s design and Framework which helps in many fields such as detection of worms, adversaries, illegitimate traffic, spread of spam email. The honeypots deployed on the network monitors the traffic for any anonymous users and track him to prevent further attacks.
