Analysis of a Honeypot Intrusion Detection System for Medical and Healthcare Services

Abstract

Cyber-attacks have been increasingly becoming alarming in recent years specifically for medical and healthcare systems. One of the cyber-attackers aims is to break into the medical or healthcare networks and gain access to the patient’s medical records. This paper deals with the honeypot-based intrusion detection system to provide information security for medical and healthcare systems. The proposed system utilizes the Dionaea and Kippo SSH (Kippo Secure Shell) honeypots to secure the medical and healthcare network infrastructure and analyze the activities of cyber-attackers. A possible Metasploit and Brute force attacks logged by the Dionaea and Kippo SSH will be analyzed to prepare the malware analysis report of the suspicious file download.
