Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 10, wherein the network is a first subnet in an enterprise network, wherein the hostname is a first hostname, wherein the network activity is a first set of network activity, wherein the plurality of production endpoint devices is a first plurality of production endpoint devices, and wherein the device is a first device, the method further comprising:
choosing, by a computing system, a second hostname that is known to not exist on a second subnet included within the enterprise network, wherein the second subnet includes a second plurality of endpoint devices;
generating, by the computing system, a second set of network activity that uses the second hostname so that the second set of network activity will not invoke a response by any of the second plurality of endpoint devices that are operating normally on the second subnet;
identifying, by the computing system, a second device that responded to the second set of network activity; and
performing a security response operation that includes instructing each of the second plurality of endpoint devices on the second subnet to avoid interaction with the second device.
