Network monitoring based on distribution of false account credentials

Abstract:

A device receives end user device information for end user devices associated with a network, and creates a data structure that includes the end user device information. The device creates a data structure that includes false account credentials, and maps the end user device information and the false account credentials to create a mapped data structure. The device provides the false account credentials to memory locations of corresponding ones of the end user devices, and provides information from the mapped data structure to one or more network devices associated with the network, wherein the information from the mapped data structure enables the one or more network devices to detect an unauthorized access attempt of the network using one or more of the false account credentials.
