Pick ADBHoney if…
ADBHoney is intended for people investigating activity against exposed Android Debug Bridge services. Its limited shell behavior suits observation rather than interactive ADB use.
Pick OpenCanary if…
It suits administrators who want a self-hosted decoy for detecting interactions with network services. Linux provides the widest module options; macOS lacks SMB monitoring, and portscan monitoring is limited to Linux and disabled in Docker.
