Virtual Honeynets take the concept of honeynet technologies, and implement them into a single system. Virtual honeynets are not a new concept, instead they take the existing concept of Honeynets and implement them in a different fasion. This implementation has its unique advantages and disadvantages over traditional honeynets. The advantages are reduced cost and easier management, as everything is combined on a single system. However, this simplicity comes at a cost. First, you are limited to what types of operating system you can deploy by the hardware and virtualization software. Second, virtual honeynets come with a risk, specifically that an attacker can break out of the virtualization software and take over the Honeynet system, bypassing data control and data capture mechanisms.
