Abstract

A method, a computer program product, and a system for implementing a dynamic virtual database honeypot. The method includes relaying a query request received from a database client to a database and receiving, from the database, a response relating to the query request. The method also includes determining the query request is an attack on the database based on session information relating to the database and the database client, generating a honey token based on information contained within the response, generating an alternate response formatted in a same format as the response and containing artificial information that masks the information contained within the response. The method further includes inserting the honey token into the alternate response and transmitting the alternate response to the database client.
