Claim One:
1. A method of obfuscating a hacker on a computer network, the method comprising: providing a model for a plurality of online actors, each actor simulating a piece of networking equipment or a human operating a networked device, the model defining for each actor at least one action and corresponding probability for a number of times that the action will occur in a given unit time; determining, using at least one processor operatively coupled with a memory, a schedule of actions associated with each actor based on the model; establishing a unique media access control (MAC) address for each actor; randomly intermixing Internet protocol (IP) addresses for each actor with IP addresses of real, physical computers in a computer network; and sending network traffic on the computer network for each action based on the schedule, the network traffic for each action attributed to the MAC address and IP address for the associated actor, thereby hiding the real, physical computers among simulated networking equipment and networked devices.
