What is Honeypot?
A system deployed to be attacked, so the interaction it attracts becomes collection you own.
A honeypot is a system deployed so that it will be attacked. It has no legitimate users, so any interaction with it is worth recording.
Honeypots range from simple emulated services that log login attempts to fully interactive systems that let an attacker go further while every action is captured. Researchers use them to collect exploitation attempts, credentials and malware, and defenders place them inside networks as tripwires.
