Honeyword system is a successful password cracking detection system. Simply the honeywords are (False passwords) that are accompanied to the sugarword (Real password). Honeyword system aims to improve the security of hashed passwords by facilitating the detection of password cracking. The password database will have many honeywords for every user in the system. If the adversary uses a honeyword for login, a silent alert will indicate that the password database might be compromised. All previous studies present a few remarks on honeyword generation methods for max two preceding methods only. So, the need for one that lists all preceding researches with their weaknesses is shown. This work presents all generation methods then lists the strengths and weaknesses of 26 ones. In addition, it puts 32 remarks that highlight their strengths and weaknesses points. This research has proved that every honeyword generation method has many weaknesses points.

“…Honeywords is an easy technique to increase the quantity of "honeywords" (false passwords) connected with each user's account, therefore enhancing the security of hashed passwords and making password cracking simpler to detect [4,5]. An adversary who obtains entry to the hashed passwords database and reverses the hashing will not determine the real password.…”

The honeyword system is a password cracking detection technique that aims to improve the security of hashed passwords by making password cracking simpler to detect. Many honeywords (false passwords) accompany the sugarword (true password) to form the sweetwords (false and true passwords) for every user. If the attacker signs in using a honeyword, a silent alarm trigger shows that the honeyword system might be compromised. Many honeyword generation techniques are presented; each one has a flaw in the generating process, a lack of support for all honeyword characteristics, and a slew of honeyword problems. The harmony search algorithm (HSA), a metaheuristic intelligence algorithm inspired by music, is used in this article to offer a novel method for generating honeyword. The suggested honeyword generation technique will enhance the generating process, enhance honeyword characteristics, and address prior approaches’ shortcomings. This paper will show several previous honeyword generation techniques, explain the suggested one, discuss the experimental findings, and compare the new honeyword generation method with the previous ones.

“…The Honeyword system is a technique that supports the security of the hashed password by detecting its cracking. Many honeywords (false passwords) with only one sugarword (real password) will be connected to every user's account [3], [4]. The hacker that succeeds in stealing the password file and cracking the hashed password will be detected at once in case a honeyword using in a login attempt [5], [6].…”

Honeywords are fake passwords that are typically companions to the real password “sugarword.” The honeyword technique is a password cracking detection technique that works effectively to improve the security of hashed passwords by making password cracking simpler to detect. The password database will contain many honeywords for each user in the system. A silent alarm will trigger, indicating that the password database has been compromised if the hacker signs in using a honeyword. The honeychecker is a separate server in charge of recognizing the real password and raising the silent alarm. Many honeyword creation techniques have been presented previously. They all have limitations in the generating process, supporting characteristics, and strengths of honeyword. The bees algorithm, an optimization metaheuristic swarm intelligence algorithm, is used in this article to suggest a novel approach for generating honeywords. The proposed bee algorithm succeeded in addressing the limitations of the previous methods by enhancing the honeyword generating process, supporting the honeyword characteristics, and addressing the honeyword system problems. The most important characteristics of the honeyword (flatness, DoS resistance, and storage) were supported by the proposed method to present unconditionally flatness, strong DoS resistance, and moderate storage. Index Terms— Bees Algorithm, Honeyword, Password, Swarm Algorithm.
