Which of the following is a decoy system designed to attract and analyze the behavior of attackers?
Honeynet
Honeypot
Honeyfile
Honeytoken
A honeypot is a security mechanism set up to detect, deflect, or, in some manner, counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. Honeypots can come in the form of network-attached systems, applications, or data that simulate a real environment but are closely monitored to gain insights into attacker motives and tactics. This is distinctly different from the other options: Honeynet is a network of honeypots, a honeyfile is a decoy file rather than a system, and a honeytoken is not a system, but a piece of data or a token that serves as a trap.
