First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a computing device configured to execute a honeypot; and
a network device configured to;
receive, from a client device, a service request to receive a service indicated in the service request from a server associated with an address indicated in the service request;
in response to obtaining a negative indication for the service that indicates the server does not offer the service, send a representation of the service request to the computing device, wherein the negative indication for the service comprises an expiry of a timer for the service response without the network device having received a positive indication for the service from the server,wherein the computing device is further configured to, in response to receiving the service request, execute the honeypot to provide the service to the client device.

Abstract
A network device comprises one or more processors coupled to a memory, and a dynamic services module configured for execution by the one or more processors to receive, from a client device, a service request specifying a service. The dynamic service module is further configured for execution by the one or more processors to, in response to obtaining a negative indication for the service, send a representation of the service request to a honeypot to cause the honeypot to offer the service to the client device.

17. A system comprising:
-
a computing device configured to execute a honeypot; a network device configured to; receive a probe from a client device; receive, from the client device and after receiving the probe, a service request to receive a service indicated in the service request from a server associated with an address indicated in the service request send, in response to obtaining a negative indication for the service that indicates the server does not offer the service and determining the network device previously received the probe from the client device, a representation of the service request to the computing device, wherein the computing device is further configured to, in response to receiving the service request, execute the honeypot to provide the service to the client device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
