Which type is described as a proxy through which a client system connects to a server without its knowledge and is entirely invisible to an end user?

• A. Pure Honeypots
• B. Transparent Proxy
• C. High-Interaction Honeypots
• D. Low-Interaction Honeypots

Answer: (A)

This item tests how traffic can be redirected without users realizing it, which is the defining behavior of a transparent proxy. A transparent proxy sits between the client and the destination server and handles the traffic automatically, so no configuration or awareness is required on the client side. Because it intercepts and forwards requests without the end user noticing, it’s described as entirely invisible to the user. Organizations use transparent proxies for tasks like content filtering, monitoring, or caching without disrupting the user experience. Honeypots are deception tools designed to lure and study attackers, not to mediate normal client-server communications. High-interaction and low-interaction honeypots differ in how realistic or interactive they are, but neither functions as a hidden mediator for ordinary traffic between client and server.
