A honeypot is a deliberately exposed, isolated system or service designed to attract attackers, allowing defenders to observe intrusion techniques, collect threat intelligence, and divert malicious activity away from real assets.

Honeypots mimic vulnerable systems or services but contain no legitimate data, so any interaction with them is inherently suspicious and highly valuable for analysis.

By studying attacker behavior in a controlled environment, organizations can improve detection rules, strengthen defenses, and better understand emerging tactics without risking production systems.
