"HADES Misleads Hackers by Creating an Alternate Reality"

Cyber researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are applying deceptive strategies in defending systems from hackers through the use of a recently patented alternative reality by the name of HADES (High-fidelity Adaptive Deception & Emulation System). Instead of obstructing or removing a hacker upon infiltration into a system, HADES leads them to a simulated reality in which cloned virtual hard drives, data sets, and memory that have been inconspicuously altered, are presented. This article further discusses the process of HADES, the use of deception in the performance of cyber defense, what this technique has allowed researchers to do, the research behind HADES, modes in which this system can operate, and the limitations of this system.
