Abstract
Virtual file honeypots (VFHs) are deployed to protect real files in a computing system. The storage footprint is reduced because the virtual file honeypots do not require storage resources. VFHs are generated to appear the same as other files in a computing system, presenting an attractive attack surface as bait to reveal malicious processes and agents. The VFHs are generated on-demand and are not backed up in system storage. The use of VFHs requires less storage capacity than real honeypot files and conserves computing system resources.
