Honeycomb is a hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen.
Why honeycomb?From the research author Christian Kreibich, it has double meaning –”Extension of honeypot”,”Combing the traffic pattern from honeypot”.
Honeycomb is a system automated generate the network intrusion detection signature.It good for spooting worms.
Currently,NIDS signature creation is a manual and tedious job that require detail and pro skill.Honeycomb can take over the job to generate those signature automatically.At the same time, avoid from the simplistic signatures tend to
generate large numbers of false positives; overly specific ones cause false negatives.
Challenge begun, literature review…..Zzzz
