Honeypot is a supplemented active defence system for network security. It traps attacks, records intrusion information about tools and activities of the hacking process, and prevents attacks outbound the compromised system. Integrated with other security solutions, Honeypot can solve many traditional dilemmas. It has emerged as a prominent technology that helps learn new hacking techniques from attackers and intruders. Honeypots can initiatively lure hackers to attack the internet, take the record of the ways and means of their invasion, and then analyze and study them.
