HONEYPOT
A network honeypot is a security tool that is used to identify active threats on a network by mimicking a vulnerable system or service.
This is done by creating a decoy system or service that is designed to attract and trap potential attackers.
Once an attacker interacts with the honeypot, it will log their activity and provide valuable information about the attack methods and tools being used.
This information can then be used to improve the security of the network by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.
Additionally, network honeypots can also be used to track the movements of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other malicious actors within a network.
By actively monitoring the honeypot for signs of compromise, organizations can more quickly detect and respond to active threats, minimizing the risk of damage to the network or compromise of business data.
