As a part of an ethical hacking exercise, an attacker is probing a target network that is suspected to employ various honeypot systems for security. The attacker needs to detect and bypass these honeypots without alerting the target. The attacker decides to utilize a suite of techniques. Which of the following techniques would NOT assist in detecting a honeypot?
Implementing a brute force attack to verify system vulnerability would not assist in detecting a honeypot because it focuses on exploiting potential weaknesses in the target system rather than identifying whether the system is a honeypot. A brute force attack aims to gain unauthorized access by systematically trying many passwords or keys, and it does not provide information about the nature of the system being attacked.

Could someone help me confirm the accuracy of this data
C Tools to detect honeypots include Send-safe Honeypot Hunter (http://www.send-safe.com) and kippo_detect (https://github.com).
The question is Which of the following techniques would {NOT} assist in detecting a honeypot”, as the tool helps, hence, it is "NOT" correct.
brute force attack may be detected by honey pots, so A is the answer.
A, Thanks for reminder.
