Described herein are embodiments of methods, systems and devices for detecting an attempted intrusion into a network (306). In one aspect, the network (306) is an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network. In another aspect, the network (306) is an home area network (HAN). In accordance with one aspect, a method of detecting an attempted intrusion into a network (306) is described. This embodiment of a method comprises configuring an entrapment meter (302) such that it receives data packets from a network (306), but does not transmit data packets to the network (306). The entrapment meter (302) is also configured such that the entrapment meter (302) appears vulnerable to unauthorized intrusion to the network (306). The configured entrapment meter (302) is used to detect an attempted unauthorized intrusion into the network (306). The attempted unauthorized intrusion is monitored.
