wht exactly is a honeypot?
Ummmm... maybe you should look in the dictionary or do a search on Google. It would have taken less time to do that then to make this post. As you can see no one is really responding to it yet.
Just a usefull tip. :eek:
with the time you took to write that post you could have told me!
http://www.securityfocus.com/popups/...pots/faq.shtml
enjoy. took me 3 seconds in google. (honeypot "what is" -> Results 1 - 10 of about 4,770. Search took 0.09 seconds.)
Next time you have a question like whatis a fill in the blank try to visit:
http://www.whatis.com. They have aloot of answers.
You could also try:

A honeypot is an unprotected computer meant to lure malicious users into breaking in in order to learn more about theit techniques.
I hope that helped.
Now if you read the faq you would have known you should have googled for it first.
Hell if you searched only this site you would have probably found the answer.
Next time do some research before asking !
sniper0wolf0, the whole reason that I wrote my post and told you to use google instead of telling you what it was, is because being able to figure things out on your own is a good trait to have. I told YOU to look it up so that way in the future when something easy like this arises you can just figure it out yourself instead of asking other people to figure it out for you, which makes you look like your not capable of doing anything yourself. If I would have thought, even the tiniest bit, that you were having trouble figuring this out yourself then yes, I would have helped you out and just posted what it meant and a couple of links, but for something as easy as this you should try to do-it yourself!
