  • Experiences with Honey-Patching in Active Cyber Security Education

    Usenix CSET'15

    Modern cyber-security educational programs that emphasize technical skills often omit or struggle to effectively teach the increasingly important science of cyber-deception. A strategy for effectively communicating deceptive technical skills by leveraging the new paradigm of honey-patching is discussed and evaluated. Honey-patches mislead attackers into believing that failed attacks against software systems were successful. This facilitates a new form of penetration testing and capture-the-flag…

    Modern cyber-security educational programs that emphasize technical skills often omit or struggle to effectively teach the increasingly important science of cyber-deception. A strategy for effectively communicating deceptive technical skills by leveraging the new paradigm of honey-patching is discussed and evaluated. Honey-patches mislead attackers into believing that failed attacks against software systems were successful. This facilitates a new form of penetration testing and capture-the-flag style exercise in which students must uncover and outwit the deception in order to successfully bypass the defense. Experiences creating and running the first educational lab to employ this new technique are discussed, and educational outcomes are examined.
