Abstract
Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for providing network deceptions using a network tunnel. In various implementations, a network device on a first network can be configured as a projection point. A projection point can be configured as one endpoint of a network tunnel. The other end of the network tunnel can terminate at a deception farm. The deception farm can host a second network, where the second network includes network devices configured as deception mechanisms. By assigning a deception mechanism a network address from the first network, the network address and the network tunnel enable the deception mechanism to appear as a node in the first network.
