The present invention discloses a vulnerability simulation overload honeypot method which comprises a host computer, a port scanning deception simulating module, a vulnerability scanning deception simulating module, a vulnerability scanning deception simulating module, a vulnerability attach deception simulating module, a data auditing module and a vulnerability utilizing module. When the attach sequence arrives at the simulated honeypot, a simulated honeypot system is used for processing according to the situation. When an attacker executes vulnerability scanning to the virtual host computer, the simulated honeypot responds and processes according to the vulnerability configuration information. Afterwards, these vulnerabilities are used for further attacking. Hereon, the simulated honeypot system transmits the vulnerability attack data flow to a vulnerability honeypot system. The vulnerability utilization attach of the attacker is processed and responded by a vulnerability attack simulating module. Finally, when the attacker successfully obtains the control power through the vulnerability attack, the attack data hereon is transmitted to a physical honeypot module. All attack processes and related data are recorded by a data auditing module for analyzing comprehensively. The method reduces the number of hardware devices in the honeynet and reduces the cost.
