Abstract:
Provided are methods, devices, and computer-program products for hiding one or more deception mechanisms. In some examples, the one or more deception mechanisms can be hidden from network scans. In other examples, the one or more deception mechanisms can be hidden to convince attackers that there are no deception mechanisms. In some implementations, a device, computer-program product, and method for hiding a deception mechanism is provided. For example, a method can include identifying a deception mechanism executing on a computing device. The deception mechanism can be associated with address information. In some examples, the address information can include an Internet Protocol (IP) address and a Media Access Control (MAC) address. The method can further include determining that the deception mechanism is being projected on a site network. The method can further include determining to hide a deception mechanism and hiding the deception mechanism.
