Abstract
A method of maintaining a pool of network decoys includes evolving, over a plurality of epochs, the pool of network decoys towards one or more preferences of a network attacker. The method includes modeling preferences of the network attacker based on monitored interactions between the network attacker and the pool of network decoys to generate a preference model of the network attacker. Each epoch includes updating a fitness function based on the preference model and applying the fitness function to each network decoy included in the pool of network decoys to determine a plurality of fitness values, where the fitness values are representative of an attractiveness of a respective network decoy to the network attacker. The pool of network decoys is then updated based on the fitness values.
