Honeypot

A honeypot, in the context of cybersecurity, is a deceptive or deliberately vulnerable system or network designed to attract and trap potential attackers, cybercriminals, or unauthorized users. It acts as a decoy to divert the attention of malicious actors away from critical systems and data, while allowing security professionals to monitor and study their activities.
