Bluffing the Hackers: Automated Decoy Creation and Real-Time Cyber Deception

In the digital age, the proliferation of cyber threats necessitates advanced cybersecurity solutions. This paper introduces “Bluff,” an innovative cybersecurity platform designed to enhance intrusion prevention through automated decoy deployment and real-time threat tracking. “Bluff” integrates both backend and frontend components within a single cross-platform executable, simplifying installation and use. Leveraging deception technology, “Bluff” creates strategic decoys that divert cyber attackers, thereby protecting critical systems and gathering valuable threat intelligence. This comprehensive solution not only fortifies defenses but also manipulates adversaries’ perceptions, enabling early threat detection. Through detailed implementation and performance evaluation, we demonstrate “Bluff’s” efficacy in providing a proactive and sophisticated defense mechanism, contributing significantly to the evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
