Disambiguation
The term server emulator also has other uses. For instance, VMware Server is sometimes called a "server emulator" as it emulates hardware for the server to run.
Unlike in cases of phishing, the emulator usually does not try to steal identity of the legitimate server. Original server software that is stolen, like AEGIS, is also not a server emulator. Reimplementations of standardized protocols or server behavior is not considered to be emulation.
