TLDR
A honeypot is a system, whose sole purpose is to attract potential intruders and record their activity, to further analyse and investigate security breaches. For companies, having a honeypot can be a useful data resource and also an excellent threat hunting exercise. It is also possible to build personalised honeypots mimicking a companies environment to further entice attackers by hosting a fake active directory for example. Understanding who wants to attack you, will also help you prepare your defences. It took 16 minutes before I had my first honeypot attack.via the TL;DR App
