Abstract
Methods and systems are presented of presenting false and/or decoy content to an intruder operating on a computer system by obfuscating critical files on a computer storage device with data that directs subsequent infiltration and propagation to designated decoy hosts and decoy applications.Method and systems are provided for selectively presenting different contents to different viewers/users of application resource files for the purpose of preventing the valuable content from being read, tampered with, exfiltrated, or used as a means to perform subsequent attacks on network resources.
