A honeypot is a type of cyber security tool designed to detect malicious activity on a computer network. It consists of a computer, server, or other network device configured to appear to be vulnerable to attack and usually placed in an isolated portion of a network. When a security breach or malicious activity is detected, the honeypot will log the data and provide valuable information to the network administrator, who can then take the necessary steps to protect the system.
