A honeypot is a decoy system or resource set up to attract and detect attackers. It mimics a legitimate target, but it is isolated and monitored. When an attacker interacts with the honeypot, their activities can be logged and analyzed, providing valuable intelligence about their tactics and intentions. The other options, while related to security, do not specifically function as decoys to lure in attackers for detection and analysis purposes.
