Explanation:
Enticement is the process of luring someone into your plan or trap.
Definitions:
** Enticement: something used to attract or to tempt someone; a lure.
** Entrapment: the action of tricking someone into committing a crime in order to secure their prosecution.
**Deceit: the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth.
** Sting: In law enforcement, a sting operation is a deceptive operation designed to catch a person committing a crime.
Looking at this question, in terms of Computer Forensics and the law, it is a tossup between two answers, namely:
A. Enticement
B. Entrapment
Then we must look at the legal implications of each option:
**A -Enticement (Legal and ethical):
• Making committing a crime more enticing, but the person has already broken the law or at least has decided to do so. Honeypots can be a good way to use Enticement.
• Have open ports or services on a server that can be attacked.
• Enticement is not a valid defense.
**B-Entrapment (Illegal and unethical):
When someone is persuaded to commit a crime they had no intention to commit and is then charged with it.
• Openly advertising sensitive data and then charging people when they access them.
• Entrapment is a solid legal defense.
