Decoy Setup

Creating a new Decoy

Choose Navigation Menu > Decoys > Add Decoy.

Note: You need to know the network topology of the host machine in order to configure network settings manually.

Note for Azure users:

Before setting the IPv4 Address, please add a private IP address to the virtual machine. The IPv4 address can be dynamic or static based on your needs, but it has to be configured in Azure.
