Enhanced honeypot security for intrusion detection and prevention systems using blockchain

The project aims to enhance honeypot security through the integration of blockchain technology into an intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS). Honeypots are decoy systems deployed to detect, deflect, or study unauthorized use of information systems. By leveraging blockchain, a decentralized and tamper-proof ledger, the project ensures the integrity and immutability of honeypot data, providing robust security against cyber threats.The system employs a blockchain-based architecture where each honeypot event is recorded as a block in the chain, ensuring the integrity of the data. Additionally, smart contracts are utilized to automatically execute predefined actions based on specific conditions detected by the honeypot system, such as blocking IP addresses upon detecting malicious activities. Furthermore, the system facilitates the sharing of threat intelligence among peers in real-time, enhancing collaborative security efforts. Through the integration of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and threat intelligence sharing, the project offers an innovative approach to honeypot security, providing organizations with a more resilient defense against cyber threats.
