ABSTRACT
Honeypot is a way to trap or ward off unauthorized use attempts in an
information system. Honeypots are a distraction for hackers, so that it
appears as if they have succeeded in breaking into and retrieving data
from a network, even though in fact the data is not important and the
location is already isolated. One type of honeypot is honeyd. Honeyd
is a honeypot with a low interaction type which has less risk than the
high interaction type because the interaction with the honeypot does
not directly involve the actual system. Security issues are one of the
important aspects of a network, especially network security on
servers. This problem underlies the need to build a system that can
detect threats from parties who do not have access rights (hackers),
namely by building a honeypot security system. Honeypot is. The
aim of implementing Honeypot and IPS is that it can be used as a tool
for administrators to view activity reports produced by Honeyd and
administrators can also view reports stored in logs to help determine
network security policies.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
The development of information technology in
increasingly advanced computer networks still has
serious problems, namely the security factor.
Computer network security systems are very
important in today's technological era, as is the case
with wireless networks. The security of data is vital
and requires extra supervision. The value of data
within a particular institution or company can be very
valuable if the information contained therein can
result in benefits for one or several other parties
(Wiyanto et al, 2014).
In this case, computer network security is divided into
2 parts, namely physical security (hardware) and non-
physical security (software). These disturbances can
be in the form of disturbances from within (internal)
or disturbances from outside (external). Internal
interference is interference that originates from within
the infrastructure network. External interference is
interference that originates from outside parties who
want to try or deliberately want to penetrate existing
security. Computers connected to the internet network
are also very likely to be attacked by disturbances to
the security of the network system, so it is necessary
to build a system that can study the types of attacks
that often occur on the network.
With the need to control access to available services.
One solution is that a firewall security system is not
enough to minimize attacks on a computer network.
Many attacks that occur on computer networks can be
discovered after strange events occur on the network.
Administrators cannot know for sure what happened,
so it takes quite a long time to audit the system to find
problems that have occurred. In research conducted
by Mustofa and Aribowo, 2013, published in the
information engineering undergraduate journal at
Ahmad Dahlan University, discussing the application
of Honeypot and IDS security systems on wireless
networks, in this journal Honeyd is a tool that is able
to detect early the occurrence of intruders or
detrimental activities. a network. So in theory the
honeypot will not record legal traffic. So it can be
seen that those interacting with the honeypot are users

who use system resources that are used illegally. So
the honeypot seems to be a system that has been
successfully infiltrated by the attacker. even though
the attacker did not enter the real system, but entered
a fake system.
1.2. Problem Formulation
From the background description given above, the
problem can be formulated:
1. There is an attack from outside the network
system that cannot be prevented so that it
manages to enter the network system which
results in the server going down.
2. Implement Honeypot and IPS to prevent attacks
by detecting intruder detection and deflection.
1.3. Problem Limitations
In order for this research to be more focused and
easier to understand in its discussion, the author
provides problem limitations, namely as follows:
1. The attack pattern displayed is the attack pattern
from the IP entering the honeypot installed on the
server.
2. Honeypot development is designed using the
honeyd application.
1.4. Research Objectives
The objectives of this research can be concluded as
follows:
1. Understand and secure wireless networks from
Intruders.
2. Understand honeypots and IPSs against new types
of attacks.
1.5. Benefits of Research
The benefits that can be concluded in this research
are:
1. Implement Honeypot for the server security
system using honeyd.
2. Become a reference for further research and
improve network security with honeypots and IPS
2. Theoretical Basis
2.1. IP Addresser.
IP addresses are used as addresses in connections
between hosts on the internet so that it is a universal
communication system because it is an addressing
method that has been accepted throughout the world.
By determining the IP address, we have provided a
universal identity for every computer interface. If a
computer has more than one interface (for example
using two Ethernet) then we must give the computer
two IP addresses for each interface (Nurwijianto,
2012).
Internet Protocol (IP) is also known as "best effort"
where IP only provides a guarantee to make the best
effort so that the datagram can reach its destination
(Iwan Sofana, 2010). The IP protocol has five main
functions, namely:
1. Defines a packet which is the smallest unit of data
transmission on the internet.
2. Moving data between the Transport Layer and the
Network Interface Layer.
3. Define the Internet addressing scheme or IP
address.
4. Determine packet routing.
5. Perform packet fragmentation and reordering.
IP Addressing (IP Addressing) The Internet
(International Network) is a "giant network"
consisting of computers connected to each other. To
be able to communicate with each other, each
computer must have a network card. The network
card has a unique identification number. For example,
the network card ID number is 00:50:FC:FE:B1:E9.
The ID is difficult to remember. Imagine if to
communicate with other computers on a network you
had to memorize each network card ID. To make this
easier, the TCP/IP protocol is used on each computer.
Every computer that uses this protocol must have a
number called an IP address, so to connect we just
need to use the computer's IP number, which of
course is easier than using the network card ID
number.
2.2. Network Security System
Network security systems are often currently viewed
as the result of several factors. Factors related to
network security vary, depending on the basic
materials, but normally there are at least several
things in the network security concept, including
confidentiality, integrity and availability. In network
security there are also computer network risks which
are all forms of threats, both physical and logical, that
directly or indirectly disrupt ongoing activities on the
network. Risks in computer networks are caused by
several factors including weaknesses in the network
operating system, weaknesses in the communication
network system and weaknesses in computer
hardware. This security can be combined again with
nonrepudiation, authenticity, possession, utility.
Network security goals can be achieved with a
network security method that can protect the system
both from outside and outside the network, but not
only protects but must also be able to overcome
network attacks. If you want to determine what you
want to protect, you must have a thorough and good
security plan from procedures to network security
policies. Because if it is not planned it will not be as
expected in network protection.
Computer network security has many branches. In
security matters, considerations for securing the
system must be taken into account, such as database

security, data security, computer security and
information security. Information security is very
important because without information almost
everything cannot be done properly. Computer
network security system methodology is something
that is very important in computer network security
issues because all elements are interrelated.
2.3. Honeypot Mechanism
A honeypot is a system or computer that is
deliberately "sacrificed" to become a target for
attacks by hackers. This computer serves every attack
carried out by hackers in penetrating the server. This
method is intended so that the administrator of the
server that will be attacked can know the penetration
tricks used by hackers and can anticipate how to
protect the actual server. Every action taken by an
intruder who tries to connect to the honeypot, the
honeypot will detect and record it. A honeypot is an
information system source that is usually designed to
detect, trap, and attempt to penetrate the system.
Generally, a honeypot consists of computers, data,
and visible network segments. Honeypot also has a
monitoring feature to monitor attacker activity when
entering the honeypot system. Activities that can be
identified include the ports attacked, commands typed
by the attacker, and changes made by the attacker to
the fake honeypot server. This can be used by
Network Administrators as input for patching the
actual system, configuring the original network
segment for early prevention (Tambunan, et al, 2013).
2.4. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System)
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), is an approach
that is often used to build computer security systems,
IPS combines firewall techniques and Intrusion
Detection System (IDS) methods very well. This
technology can be used to prevent attacks from
entering the local network by checking and recording
all data packets and recognizing packets with sensors.
When an attack has been identified, IPS will deny
access (block) and record (log) all identified data
packets. So IPS acts like a Firewall which will allow
and block combined like IDS which can detect
packets in detail. IPS uses signatures to detect traffic
activity on the network and terminals, where the
detection of incoming and outgoing packets (inbound-
outbound) can be prevented as early as possible
before they damage or gain access to the local
network. So early detection and prevention are the
emphasis in this IPS (Jutono, 2012).
3. Research Methods.
3.1. Research Framework
This chapter will describe the problem analysis
process and analysis of the need for Honeypot
implementation to improve the server security system
from intruders/attackers. The following is a general
overview of the steps in this research framework
which is shown in Figure 3.1 below:
Figure 3.1. Framework
3.2. System Design Analysis.
In this chapter the author will discuss analysis and
design in implementing the Honyepot application to
improve the server security system from attack
activities. The target of this analysis is how to secure
a computer network from syn flood attacks. To
facilitate design in securing computer networks, there
are several existing mechanisms, so a flowchart of
system use is needed.
The reason the author uses a system flowchart and
UML is because by using a honeypot system
flowchart the flow of the process of using a honeypot
to secure a computer network can be clearly depicted.
3.2.1. Analysis of Honeyd Security on the
Network
Analysis of the Honeyd security system on the
network for network security is an open source
application that can be used only on the Linux
operating system. This chapter will describe the
process of analyzing problems and analyzing the need
for Honeypot implementation to improve the server
security system using the Honeyd and Nmap
applications as tools for recording. port that has been
set in the honeyd. conf file. Creating a Honeyd
Configuration file is used to determine the operating
system as well as open ports or services provided by
the Honeyd honeypot. Honeyd is configured to
impersonate a trapping host with IP address
10.0.2.11. By emulating the Microsoft Windows XP

SP1 operating system,. The purpose of this
configuration is to trick attackers as if there is an open
server with various services (open ports). Because the
attacker's stage in carrying out an attack is usually by
scanning to look for the entrance or place where the
attack will be carried out. An attacker through this
activity tries to find security holes through which
attacks can enter. From this process it can be seen that
the operating system and open ports of this IPS will
be built using NIPS so that the IPS system is not
directly installed on the host. The following is the
topology that will be used to implement a honeypot in
the network.
Figure 4.1 Honeyd and IPS topology
The image above is the topology that will later be
built by the author in the IPS design and IP
addressing honeypot carried out on the interface on
the computer. Attackers will carry out attacks based
on the techniques they master against existing
vulnerabilities. After the installation process and
creating the honeyd configuration script are complete,
the next stage is to simulate the system to find out
whether the system can run as expected. Honeyd runs
as desired if the following conditions are met.
The IP address of the host impersonated by honeyd
can be reached or accessed by other hosts on the
network.
A. Scanning carried out on hosts imitated by Honeyd
using Nmap produces open operating systems and
ports according to the Honeyd configuration file.
B. The services that honeyd emulates can be
accessed by other hosts in the network.
C. Every traffic to honeyd is recorded in the log file.
3.2.2. System Requirements Analysis
(Requirements Analysis)
The requirements analysis stage aims to define the
requirements of the system to be developed. In the
process of analyzing the needs of the system to be
developed, the author uses UML modeling to describe
the existing needs of the network.
In the world of network security, many techniques or
systems have been used that generally function to
secure firewall networks. Firewalls are designed to
bypass, stop intruders who try to enter the server
network. Implementing a honeypot system using
honeyd is expected to be able to secure data stored on
the server by observing the attacker's activities with
the logs displayed by honeyd. With the
implementation of this honeypot, it can increase the
security system against attack activities that occur by
scanning the ports on Zenmap/Nmap. Nmap testing
can be seen in the test below.
Figure 4.2 Nmap Testing

In the picture above, it is a test of Nmap in detecting activity on the network. In this activity experiment, the
attack test was not carried out in the Nmap experiment above. It only checks the communication that is taking
place. Using Nmap, you can also find out the port usage used. Then the next stage is
The requirements analysis stage is the stage of intensive interaction between system analysts and system users
(end-users). The use of UML modeling in implementing the honeypot system is expected to be more dynamic
and able to increase security on the server.
to ward off intruders/attackers who try to infiltrate the company's server network.
At this stage there is also a weakness in the running system, namely that the honeypot is not a system that can be
fully used as a security system. The firewall security system implemented is not strong enough to ward off
attackers who try to infiltrate existing network servers.
Based on this, a honeypot security system is needed. Development of the existing system is to create a honeypot
system using the honeyd application and to be able to secure the data on the server, so that an intruder or attacker
can be distracted by creating a fake server that is installed into the honeypot via a port.
3.2.3. Process Design
At this system design stage, we will explain the development of the Honeypot system using Ubuntu so that the
process is easier to understand and clearer in accordance with the Flowchart and Unified Modeling Language
(UML) standards that will be created.
3.2.4. Flowcharts
Flowcharts are used to clarify the development design that will be made. The following is a flowchart of
developing a honeypot system for server security.
Figure 4.3 Flowchart Sistem
3.2.5. Use Case Diagram
Usecase Diagrams are used to textually describe the
steps in system interaction with its use. There are 2
types of actors in the designed system, namely User
and admin. In this case, visitors act as users and
admins act as system data managers.
3.2.6. Arrange for Port Security
The port number can be specified using several
methods, such as "any" for all ports, any is an
arbitrary value, theoretically meaning all ports on the
computer without exception.
To be more focused and maximize network security,
it is indicated by a single port number, for example 80
for HTTP, 23 for TELNET and other ports. The range
operator can be applied in a number of ways to
convey different meanings such as
udp log any any -> 192.168.1.0/24 1:1024 udp log

the purpose and objective is traffic coming from any
port and destination ports in the range 1 to 1024.
Other examples such as to ensure ports less than port
1024 can be written in this way
add windows tcp port 135 open
add windows ftp port 20 open
add windows http port 80 open
So that this honeypot can run as the author wants, the
author created a configuration file for port security.
The aim and objective is that traffic coming from any
port and destination ports in 135,139,445,20,80 can
be processed by those who have user authority.
Virtual operating systems are also used for virtual
communication by attackers. . The port used by this
researcher has been specified in the configuration file
to be used as a trap for attackers. The following ports
have been set in this research so that this research
matches the results expected by the author.
4. Implementation and Testing
4.1. System Implementation
The implementation of the system developed will be
explained in the form of test scenarios and the
implementation of test scenarios for honeypot
networks and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) on
wireless networks. It is carried out here based on the
scenarios developed and this is a form of
implementation. In the test, only one test scenario is
carried out, and to find out the condition of the
network, identify gaps in network security. In this
test, a test will be carried out using the port scanning
mentioned above and the test will use a type of
flooding attack. In carrying out this test scenario the
author will set up the honeyd application. So that later
you can learn about the type of attack that will be
carried out and the results will be as desired in that
scenario, the author will build a fake server and a real
server.
4.2. Testing Scenario Results
In the test scenario, this test was carried out to
determine network conditions regarding gaps in
network security. This test used Ubuntu 12.04 as a
test operating system and created a trap in the Honeyd
application by utilizing the configuration file above.
In this test scenario, the Zenmap tool is used as an
application for port scanning and flooding. In this
research, an experiment was carried out for 3 days,
the experiment was carried out 4 times so that it could
conclude a new type of network from before, so that
honyepot could receive new types of attacks and be
able to learn about the types. attacks that occur and
are stored in the Ubuntu Honed Logfile folder so that
later the author can classify the type of attack. As in
the following table :
Tabel 5 Testing Scenario Results
User Komputer Ip Addres
Port yang
digunakan
Server asli 10.0.2.16 135, 139, 445, 1028
Server Bayangan 10.0.2.15 135, 139, 445, 1028
Client Intruder 10.0.2.18 135, 139, 445, 1028
The table above is the result of testing using online
and public IPs so that Honeyd caught him attempting
an attack on the original server, so the original server
provided a port that had been deliberately provided
and a fake IP to the intruder (attacker).
5. Conclusion and Recommendation
5.1. Conclusion
This chapter is used to provide conclusions and
suggestions from research results from analyzing the
Honeypot mechanism in attacker attacks. Several
things can be concluded from this research as follows:
1. Improve the security system using a honeypot by
redirecting intruders to the honeydew.
2. From the test results using honeypot, Honeypot is
able to recognize attacks with new rules. And
create a fake server for intruders.
5.2. Suggestions
Meanwhile, during the testing and implementation of
the snort mechanism in dealing with flooding attacks,
there are still many weaknesses, so suggestions are
needed that can be developed to continue research in
preventing attacks that arise. The suggestions that the
author hopes to obtain from this research are:
1. Need an administrator who is proficient in Linux,
for security by implementing honeypot and IPS.
2. Need to test with a large network such as a WAN.
