Title:

CS Network Probe Monitor

Internet security has become increasingly important especially with its dependence during a global pandemic. Our project involves creating a system which monitors incoming network traffic and sorts the data based on geographic location and port configuration using Honeypots. Honeypots are probes used to analyze possible security threats by tracking connecting services and applications. Possible security threats include Unauthorized Access, Distributed Denial of Service and Privilege Escalation. These probes are connected to the UNH-CS server and collect information such as date, time, source IP address, source port number, target IP address and target port number. We are comparing the collected data to a database accessible through DShield which allows us to determine possible threats from attempts at unauthorized connections. Potential security threats are displayed on a locally sourced website with a color scheme indicating the severity of the threat. Identifying potentially harmful IP addressed by means of DNS routing allows us to determine the best course of action when handling each individual issue as it appears. This can include restricting access on a given port, specific IP address, or geographical location.
