Definition: A honeypot is a computer system intended to attract or lure attackers to it. A honeypot serves to distract attackers from the real targets as a decoy as well as a means to track and monitor attacks to learn from them in order to develop better protection for the real systems.
Editor-in-Chief at TechSpective
I have a passion for technology and gadgets--with a focus on Microsoft and security--and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 4 dogs, 7 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either. You can contact me directly at tony@xpective.net. For more from me, you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
