Honeynet

A network of honeypots that simulates a realistic environment to observe attacker behavior.

Definition

Honeynets include multiple decoy systems and services with monitoring to capture attacker movements, tools and lateral movement. A honeywall controls and records traffic. They provide richer intelligence than a single honeypot.

Example

A segment of fake servers and workstations mimicking a finance department.

Exam tip

Honeynet = multiple honeypots; know the progression honeypot, honeynet, honeyfile, honeytoken.
