Collapsar: A VM-Based Honeyfarm and Reverse Honeyfarm Architecture for Network Attack Capture
We present Collapsar, a virtual machine based architecture for network attack capture and detention. A Collapsar center hosts and manages a large number of high-interaction virtual honeypots in a local dedicated network. To attackers, these honeypots appear as real systems in their respective production networks. Decentralized logical presence of honeypots provides a wide diverse view of network attacks, while the centralized operation enables dedicated administration and convenient event correlation, eliminating the need for honeypot expertise in every production network domain.
