The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 January 2023):
honeypot
A computer or network of computers set up to record
and report attacks in the hope of detecting them before they
affect important systems. The honeypot will usually have none
of the normal protection such as a firewall and may run dummy
services such as a database server to see what the attack
can do. Often the first reports of a new type of attack comes
from the evidence collected by honeypots. Attackers may attempt
to detect honeypots and abort the attack.
