Anonymous System: Automatic Secret Attack in Utility and Detectability Application

  M.Bharathi,  P.Rayavel

In some cases, system may be vulnerable because of DDOS attacks it affecting the whole system. The passwords are easily hacked by the hacker using online guessing attacks. So there is no big security implementation was introduced in the existing system. We propose a simple security system for improving the authentication .Our implementation is to avoid DDOS attack by inducing hackers in the form of honey words. The user has to register with the server and it generates Random set of Passwords to the user called Honey words. User’s Original password is hashed and stored along with the Honey words. Attacker will fetch any one of the password so that intermediate server will filter the wrong password based queries so that DDOS can be avoided. Honey words based on the user information provided and the original password is converted into another format and stored along with the Honey words. We deploy Intermediate server, Shopping server and Cloud server for purchasing and maintaining user account details respectively. Attacker who knows the E mail account of original user can easily change the password of the cloud server. Attackers are induced to do attack in this Project, so they can found out easily. The attacker logins into the purchase portal, where tracking is done and he is allowed to do purchase. Server identifies the attacker and blocks him doing further transaction from his original account and also sends the attacker details to the original user. The main purpose behind the introduction of the honey words is to overcome password-crack detection problem, we believe that security policies should not be loosened to mitigate the DoS attacks.
