Abstract
The rapid evolution of cyber threats necessitates innovative solutions for
detecting and analyzing malicious activity. Honeypots, which are decoy systems
designed to lure and interact with attackers, have emerged as a critical
component in cybersecurity. In this paper, we present a novel approach to
creating realistic and interactive honeypot systems using Large Language Models
(LLMs). By fine-tuning a pre-trained open-source language model on a diverse
dataset of attacker-generated commands and responses, we developed a honeypot
capable of sophisticated engagement with attackers. Our methodology involved
several key steps: data collection and processing, prompt engineering, model
selection, and supervised fine-tuning to optimize the model's performance.
Evaluation through similarity metrics and live deployment demonstrated that our
approach effectively generates accurate and informative responses. The results
highlight the potential of LLMs to revolutionize honeypot technology, providing
cybersecurity professionals with a powerful tool to detect and analyze
malicious activity, thereby enhancing overall security infrastructure.
