Blocking Misbehaving Users using Fake Database

Abstract — In the IT world, information is the most important asset for any organization. Protecting this asset is the critical factor and the method of securing this asset is known as information security. In today’s competing IT business, network administrator must be always available to protect the network and the information on the network with extreme measures. One of them is fake database. Fake database reduces the overhead of the network administrator to always be on the network and always monitoring it. Fake database is a setup to imitate a real network. The idea is to make the attacker believe that the fake database is a legitimate system. This Paper proposes the methodology to identify and trap the misbehaving user.
