ABSTRACT

Information is a strategic resource and to protect this kind of confidential and private data against possible attacks, you must take into account some security mechanisms and measures. And as Computer network are subject to electronic attacks. This led to growing interest in more aggressive forms of defense to supplement the existing methods. One of these methods involves the use of Honeypots. A combination of bait and trap to capture the identity of intruder, as the intruder is not physically present is Honeypot. For securing large network we use honeynet which are network of honeypots. In this paper we are going to address the need of a honeywall and how it is used in honeynet environment to trap attackers. Honeywall is a power full tool for capturing attacks in honeynet environment. The information gathering from honeywall would be used in designing an efficient model against malware in computer networks.
