Chameleon: An Adaptive AI-Driven Honeypot Architecture Using Threat-Calibrated Particle Swarm Optimization and Semantic Deception Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 15407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An invariant behavioral profile is the defining vulnerability of traditional honeypot installations: a skilled adversary can confirm the presence of a deception environment within only a few diagnostic commands, limiting its intelligence value.

HoneyRoute: Honeypot-Model Routing for Adversarial LLM Serving

HoneyRoute is an inference‑serving layer that identifies malicious requests and redirects them to a honeypot model, protecting the production model while collecting adversarial interactions for intelligence. It combines a lightweight streaming router, a dual‑implementation honeypot, and an analysis loop that turns captured interactions into attacker fingerprints for retraining. In evaluations on production traces and a seven‑domain attack corpus, HoneyRoute achieves high detection F1 scores with minimal latency overhead, significantly reduces token consumption during flooding attacks, and improves fidelity‑traceability trade‑offs compared to naive bait injection.

SysEvolve: An AI-native, safe, autonomous adversarial attack-defense co-evolutionary system

arXiv:2608. 15012v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has created a growing asymmetry in cybersecurity, where attack accelerates toward autonomous execution while defense remains predominantly human-intensive.

DecoyTrace: Toxic Decoys for Active Defense in Decentralized Federated Learning

DecoyTrace is a proactive cyber‑deception defense designed for strictly serverless decentralized federated learning (DFL). It deploys mobile DecoyNodes that generate chaotic decoy challenges, disseminate dual models (clean vs. decoy) based on neighbor trust, and use three‑state semantic metrics to isolate malicious sources and recover models. Across sixty configurations on the NEBULA platform, DecoyTrace restores model utility with minimal performance loss and reduces CPU and network usage by up to two‑thirds.
