Honeynets and honeypots are both security measures used to capture malicious activity on a network. Both rely on deception to hide a networked system or group of systems from being discovered. The key difference between the two is that honeynets are comprised of multiple different honeypots, connected together to create a complex network of decoy systems. This makes it more difficult for an attacker to gain access to the sensitive parts of the network. On the other hand, honeypots are normally just one single computer system, such as a server, that has been modified to resemble a legitimate resource in order to lure attackers in.
