Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "honeypot" refers to a computer or network set up with the intention of luring would-be attackers, and tricking them into revealing their methods, tools, or intentions, without causing any harm or damage to a real system or network. A honeypot can be a single machine or a group of machines (a honeynet), but it is always designed to look attractive and vulnerable to attackers, and to generate alerts, logs, and other forms of feedback to security administrators. A honeywall is a related concept, but it usually refers to a network device that blocks or analyses traffic, rather than a decoy system. A honeyhost could be a legit term, but it is not commonly used in the context of honeypots.
