IDS Fundamentals and Network Architecture

John is a Security Administrator at NetPerfect Inc., which uses Windows-based systems. He is assigned a project to track malicious hackers and improve the company's security system. John configures a computer system to make malicious hackers believe it is the company's main server; in reality, it is a decoy system used to track hackers.

Which system is John using to track the malicious hackers?

  • A Honeypot
  • B Honeytokens
  • C Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
  • D Bastion host
Explanation

A honeypot is a deliberately deployed decoy system that appears valuable or legitimate to attackers so their actions can be observed, analyzed, and tracked without exposing the actual production server.
