"Honeytraps as Forensic Tools"

      For years, computer and network security experts have fought to stay ahead of computer criminals, AKA blackhats. As blackhats become more skilled and computers become more powerful, conventional security measures become less effective. This nearly perpetual action-response-reaction cycle evolved into a new field of study known Computer and Network Forensics(CNF). CNF is the art of discovery, and retrieval of information about a crime committed against or using computers or and/or computer networks in such a way as to make the information gathered, admissible in court. Over the last couple of months our research in this area has been directed tours using independently implemented systems to gather information that will enable CNF experts to put computer criminals that attack production systems into jail. As our research progress, we focus on one type of independent system, honeytraps. We discussed how they can be integrated into the forensic process, and the advantages and problems of doing so.
