Authors:Rohit Kumar || Surbhi Khare, Deepa Kale

Abstract:In today’s world, technology is changing almost every second day. This rapidly changing technology offers lots of benefits but also put some great challenges. Smart city is a concept that merges various Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Internet of Things(IoT) based service solutions, together. Thus, the concept of smart cities uses all possible technologies in the state-of-the-art form. Hence, there is a need to make sure that the no one could use our networks for their own benefits. Malicious users always wait for the perfect opportunities and attack on the most vulnerable part of the network. A strong defense mechanism is needed to defend against them, otherwise the concept of smart cities would only be a chaos. In this paper, we will explain the different types of possible attacks, analyze them and will propose a mechanism to defend against them, based on Honeypot based services..
