Honeypots of Cyber Security


Honeypot is a part of a study of Cyber Security. It is used for detecting or deflecting the problems or unauthorized attempts on Information System and also gathering the info. It is able to monitor, block or analyze the attackers. Honeypot is just used to attract the attackers to the system. You can say it is like a baiting the cyber criminals. It have a same application and system like the real system of computers. That's why attackers take this as a baits. This mostly used for understanding attackers behavior pattern.

Honeypot are classifieds on their deployment and based on their level of development.
Classification based on their deployment:-
  • Productions honeypots
They are easy to use but gather less info and mostly used by corporations. It is placed in production network along with other production servers. This honeypots are easy to deploy. They serve as a decoy system inside fully network and servers.
  • Research honeypots
They run to know the motive and tactics of Black Hat community. They are used to learn the system vulnerabilities to make better security system. They are also hard to deploy and gather extensive legitimate information.

Classification based on their level of deployment:-
  •   Pure honeypots
In this the activities of attackers are monitor by using the bug tap which are installed to the honeypots linked to the network. No other software needs to be installed. It is ensure more control mechanism.They are unsophisticated.
  • High-interactions honeypots
This imitate the activities of production system that host the variety of services. This allow the attackers to use lot of services and waste their time. By employing the virtual machine multiple honeypots can be run on one physical machine. Therefore, if honeypot even get compromised it can be restored.
  • Low-interaction honeypots
This stimulates the service only requested by attackers. That's why it consume less resource. It doesn't have complex system.

RPA - UiPath

What is RPA?   RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across  application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.   UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs...

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i...

Alien could be discovered on this new class of 'Hycean' exoplanet.

In the discovery for Alien life, astronomers have mostly looked for planets of a similar size, mass, temperature, and atmospheric composition to Earth. Recently, the team of astronomers find a class of planets that may prove the existence of Alien Life. Such exoplanets are more numerous in planetary surveys than rocky ones, which means they could be fertile territory in the search for alien life. The researchers have dubbed them 'Hycean' worlds.  In the new study, researchers identify one such class of alien worlds "Hycean" planets, which are up to 2.5 times larger than Earth and feature huge oceans of liquid water beneath hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Hycean planets appear to be incredibly abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, and they could host microbial life similar to the "extremophiles" that thrive in some of Earth's harshest environments, study team members said. "Hycean planets open a whole new avenue in our search for life elsewhere,...
