A small city runs a honeynet segment that mimics SCADA HMI hosts. How does a honeynet differ from a honeypot?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One fake fish in a bowl is a honeypot; a whole fake aquarium room is a honeynet. Same deception idea, different scale. Do not call your entire live plant network a honeypot by accident.
Full Explanation
A honeypot is generally a single decoy system designed to attract and observe attackers. A honeynet is a network of decoy systems—often a segmented environment—used for broader deception and research. Mimicking SCADA HMI hosts on a dedicated segment illustrates a honeynet. Deception does not replace perimeter controls, and the terms are not interchangeable on SY0-701.
