Deceptive Identity APIs

Goal: Gather information about attackers’ activities and tools by deploying deceptive identity APIs.

Approach: Creating fake identity APIs that mimic legitimate services but capture attacker interactions.

Deploy fake APIs that mimic identity management services, such as user provisioning, authentication, or authorization. These APIs can be designed to capture attacker requests, log their activities, or return misleading information.

Name of Element: Deceptive Identity APIs

Description of Element:

Goal: Gather information about attackers’ activities and tools by deploying deceptive identity APIs.

Approach: Creating fake identity APIs that mimic legitimate services but capture attacker interactions.

Deploy fake APIs that mimic identity management services, such as user provisioning, authentication, or authorization. These APIs can be designed to capture attacker requests, log their activities, or return misleading information.

Technical Context:

This element requires the ability to create and deploy APIs that integrate with the identity management infrastructure. This can be achieved through web development frameworks, cloud services, or by manipulating existing identity APIs. This aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique T1102 (Web Service).

Other:

This element can be combined with deceptive network configurations or fake documentation to lure attackers towards the deceptive APIs.
