I assume that it must be on the same network on which the original production system is running. This must make the intruders think that they are attacking the main system or network.

What sort of set up would prevent this type of attacks?
Well, from what I have read, a company can set it up where they like, but it is usually within a DMZ on their network, as a hacker would find that before their secured network... that's when they want to distract a hacker from their real systems and resources.

However, if they wanted a true analysis of their actual network, then they could place it within the normal LAN.

As you have probably already gathered, I'm no expert, so probably totally wrong, lol.

Kind Regards
