AdvancedShelLM: A Stateful Multi-Agent LLM Honeypot for SSH Deception

Muris Sladić, Eman Alibalić, Veronica Valeros +2

LLM-based SSH honeypots can generate believable interactions, but evaluations indicate they remain somewhat identifiable to determined attackers, indicating the need for a better s…
