[email protected] Abstract—The Internet of Things (IoT), the Industrial Internet worlds are connected by sensors that collect data about the of Things (IIoT), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have become physical elements of a system and transmit it to the logical essential for our daily lives in contexts such as our homes, elements, and to the actuators that respond to the logical buildings, cities, health, transportation, manufacturing, infras- elements and apply changes to the physical elements. At the tructure, and agriculture. However, they have become popular same time, however, Greer et al. [4] stated that IoT and CPS targets of attacks, due to their inherent limitations which create are different in that IoT places more emphasis on information vulnerabilities. Honeypots and honeynets can prove essential to understand and defend against attacks on IoT, IIoT, and CPS technology and networking things in the physical world, while environments by attracting attackers and deceiving them into CPS is more of a closed system and is focused more on thinking that they have gained access to the real systems. Hon- the exchange of information for sensing and controlling the eypots and honeynets can complement other security solutions physical world. IIoT further connects the definitions of IoT (i.e., firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems - IDS) to form a and CPS, as it possesses characteristics from both.
