THM: Introduction To Honeypots |
Introduction
What?
A honeypot is a deliberately vulnerable security tool designed to attract attackers and record the actions of adversaries.
Why?
Honeypots can be used in a defensive role to alert administrators of potential breaches and to distract attackers away from real infrastructure. Honeypots are also used to collect data on the tools and techniques of adversaries and assist with generating effective defensive measures.
