Abstract

A method for detecting and manipulating a malicious actor/communication on a computer network or system. The method includes the steps of incorporating one or more synthetic vulnerabilities into the computer system at distinct locations, where each synthetic vulnerability presents an opportunity for exploitation by a malicious actor/communication, detecting an exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities by an actor, analyzing the actor to determine if the actor is a malicious actor/communication; and manipulating the malicious actor/communication. A computer program on a storage medium is also disclosed.
