Honeypot- Enabled Authentication System

Honey Shield represents a deception-driven cybersecurity paradigm focused on deceiving, redirecting, and tracking malicious activities targeting web application authentication systems. The paradigm provides a centralized security service interface that enables the use of multiple defense strategies, such as bot protection, honeypot redirection, and SQL injection protection. Upon the detection of malicious activity, such as repeated login attempts within a certain time period, the malicious user is automatically redirected to a decoy system, thus effectively isolating malicious traffic from the actual web application. All security incidents, including suspicious access events, timestamps, request patterns, and activity types, are recorded and stored in a secure database for ease of analysis after the incident. An interactive dashboard is available for the visualization of login attempts, blocked attacks, and selected security services. By combining deception-driven defense and centralized logging, HoneyShield improves authentication security, attack analysis, and provides an ethical platform for advancing web application security best practices
