Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 10

Lance wants to place a honeypot on his network. Which of the following would be your recommendations?

Answer options

• A. Use a system that has a dynamic addressing on the network
• B. Use a system that is not directly interacting with the router
• C. Use it on a system in an external DMZ in front of the firewall
• D. It doesn't matter as all replies are faked

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the purpose of a honeypot is to deceive attackers into thinking they are interacting with a legitimate system, and thus, all responses can be faked. Options A, B, and C suggest configurations that could interfere with the honeypot's effectiveness or expose it unnecessarily, which is not ideal for its intended use.
