Some concepts I learned during a CISA course.<\/p>\n
A honeypot<\/span> is designed to attract hackers. Honeypots have no production value. They are set up specifically for providing advance warning of a real attack, tracking the activity and keystrokes of an attacker, increase knowledge of how hackers attack systems and luring the attacker away from the real network.<\/p>\n
A honeynet<\/span> is used for monitoring a larger and\/or more diverse network in which one honeypot may not be sufficient. Honeynets and honeypots are usually implemented as parts of larger network intrusion detection systems.<\/p>\n
A honeyfarm<\/span> is a centralized collection of honeypots and analysis tools.<\/p>\n
