Abstract

As an example, an asset receives a request from a scanner performing a reconnaissance of a network that includes the asset. The asset sends a response acknowledging receiving the request, indicating that the asset is alive. The asset receives port scan requests associated with ports of the asset. The asset creates fake fingerprints that include incorrect information about ports of the asset. The asset sends the fake fingerprints to the scanner in response to the port scan requests. The asset determines that a scan engine is requesting access to the asset via a particular port of the asset. The asset grants the scan engine access to the asset via the particular port to enable the scan engine to gather asset data associated with the asset for analysis.
