The goal of NoAH is to produce a design study and perform the necessary technical work towards the development of an infrastructure for security monitoring based on honeypot technology. Honeypots are computer systems that do not provide regular production services. Instead, they are intentionally vulnerable and at the same time closely monitored systems that wait to be compromised by attackers. Once hit, honeypots can be used to analyze attacks. In NoAH, honeypots will be used as early-warning systems capable of detecting attacks at the early stages of their infestation. By correlating data received by geographically distributed honeypots, NoAH will be able to detect cyberattacks before they have the chance to do any major damage.
