Before creating a honeypot attack detection flowchart, you should understand what exactly a honeypot attack really is. It should be noted here that a honeypot is a security mechanism that creates a virtual trap to lure attackers. An intentionally compromised computer system allows attackers to exploit vulnerabilities so you can study them to improve your security policies. As the below flow chart suggests, a honeypot is a network-attached system set up as a decoy to lure cyberattackers and detect, deflect and study hacking attempts to gain unauthorized access to information systems. Large enterprises and companies involved in cybersecurity research are common users of honeypots to identify and defend against attacks from advanced persistent threat (APT) actors.
