Honey Pot is a specially designed trap that does not contain
real data but offers an easy target for hackers to attack.
The primary purpose of the Honey Pot is to secretly gather
information about the attacks so that management can build
up a case and take further action against the perpetrator
if desired. Honey Pots are specialized software designed to
emulate existing OS / applications riddled with security holes
so that they will attract the hacker (hence Honey Pot).
