    Honeypots are decoy systems designed to detect attacks. They resemble real systems and seem to contain valuable resources, but are actually isolated and monitored. Honeypots serve to lure attackers away from protected systems by providing an attractive target. They also provide a means to study hacking techniques and tools. While honeypots can be useful defenses, they must be carefully isolated to avoid compromising the real network if attacked. The goal of a honeypot is to be attacked in order to gain information about attacks and attackers without exposing real systems to harm.
