You can inject vulnerabilities into a honeynet to make it easy for an attacker to access the trap. Any system on the honeynet may serve as a point of entry for attackers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Based on design criteria, honeypots can be classified as: pure honeypots. high-interaction honeypots. low-interaction honeypots.
