Abstract
Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, attack mitigation apparatuses, and network security systems that improve network security for web applications are illustrated. With this technology, a web application resource associated with a protected web application is obtained from a server following receipt of a request for the web application resource from a client. A determination is made when the client is suspicious, and when the determination indicates the client is suspicious. The web application resource is modified by injecting a honeypot into source code of the resource. The honeypot comprises a conviction trap that can be engaged by the client. The modified web application resource is then sent to the client in a response to the request for the web application resource. Subsequently the client can be convicted as malicious if it is determined that the honeypot is engaged, thereby providing a more effective and accurate identification of manual attackers.
