Single Answer
0Jack has deployed a system that appears to attackers to be a vulnerable system. The system is specifically designed to capture information and data from attacks to allow for later analysis. What type of tool has Jack deployed?
Answer Options
A
A tarpit
B
A honeypot
C
A beehive
D
An intrusion detection system
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Honeypots are designed to appear to be vulnerable. They are heavily instrumented to capture attacker techniques and tools, allowing for analysis by defenders. Tarpits slow down attackers, beehives are not a term used in this context, and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are designed to identify and alert about attacks but are not designed to appear to be vulnerable.
