Development and Analysis of Network Deception Technologies

This is a statement of work for the second year effort of a continuing project exploring network deception through measurement, analysis, and software development. The primary objectives of this project are:

1) Advance the state-of-the-art in network deception detection

2) Use this knowledge to improve the resilience of network measurement techniques and mapping Systems

3) Improve the quality of the network deception itself.

In this proposed continuing effort, we plan to continue our successful effort developing improved network tarpits, continue analyzing network data and measurements for deceptive artifacts and anomalies, and integrate our deceptive work into software defined networks (SDNs). In parallel, we plan two exploratory research thrusts into router honeypots and crowd-sourced physical infrastructure mapping respectively. By better understanding the power and limits of deception, we hope to improve the state-of-the-art in network mapping.
