A honeypot is a network-attached system set up as a decoy to lure cyberattackers and to detect, deflect or
study hacking attempts in order to gain unauthorized
access to information systems. The same goes vice versa, in which a
hacker tries to distract a, e.G. , Company with a mock-up hack, to proceed to the main hack, of which the, e.G. , company doesn’t know about.
