Information, Computer and Network Security Terms Glossary and Dictionary

A honeynet is a network set up with intentional vulnerabilities to invite attack and identify attackers. Virtual Honeynets simply take the concept of Honeynet technologies, and implement them into a single system, which all the different operating systems have the "appearance" to be running on their own, independent computer. These solutions are possible because of virtualization software that allows running multiple operating systems at the same time, on the same hardware.
