Honeypot

This a program used for security purposes that is able to simulate one or more network services that look like a computer’s ports. When an attacker tries to infiltrate, the honeypot will make the target system appear vulnerable. In the background, it will log access attempts to the ports, which can even include data like the attacker’s keystrokes. The data collected by a honeypot can then be used to anticipate incoming attacks and improve security in companies.
