This article is excerpted from the recently published book "Know Your
Enemy: Learning About Security Threats".

Honeypots are a relatively new and highly dynamic technology. Because
they are so dynamic, it is difficult to define just what they are.
Honeypots are unique in that they are not a solution in and of
themselves; they do not solve a specific security problem. Instead, they
are highly flexible tools with many different information security
applications.
