Design of virtual honeynet collaboration system in existing security research networks

This paper proposes the virtual honeynet collaboration system (VHS) to improve the designs and concepts of the honeynet architectures. Using virtualization technologies (VTs) as a development platform, the proposed approach combines honeynet technologies to develop a new virtual honeynet architecture that implements VHS. This study also proposes the honeypot redirect-outbound (HRO) algorithm and the honeypot redirect-inbound (HRI) algorithm to solve the problems of honeypot module (HM) parallelism operation and bypass security module (SM) issues. Using a modular design concept, each module can be customized according to different needs, making the VHS superior to the conventional, modified, and hybrid honeynet design.
