Abstract

HoneyShield serves as a lightweight system for intrusion detection and monitoring. It relies on honeypots to spot malicious activities. The setup simulates a vulnerable environment and captures what attackers do in real time. Those deceptive endpoints look real enough to draw in attackers. They end up doing things like reconnaissance or trying to log in or run commands. Every move gets logged as a structured event. Then a dynamic model scores the risk and sorts it into low, medium, or high categories. Administrators get a boost in awareness from the real-time alerts. Those pop up as visual warnings whenever high-risk stuff shows up. The frontend feels intuitive for keeping an eye on sessions. You can check timelines of events or download the full chains of interactions. It uses a modular build with React up front and Python in the back. Simplicity and clear analysis come first in the design. Tests in experiments prove it catches odd patterns reliably. Things like repeated failed logins or weird file grabs or commands without permission stand out. Overall, HoneyShield shows how these honeypots traps help with early detection in today's security setups.
