My new cybersecurity project ✅ HONEYPOT DEPLOYMENT ON AWS Before I get into how I did the project, here’s a quick explanation of what a honeypot is and why it’s useful. A honeypot is like a fake system that we set up to look like a real target for hackers. It tricks them into thinking they’ve found something valuable, but in reality, it’s just there to catch them in the act. And deploying a honeypot means placing this decoy system that we've created in a network where attackers can easily find it. It doesn’t hold any real data, but it lets us watch what hackers try to do, what tools they use, how they get in, and what exactly they’re after. This helps companies in many ways. For example; - Spot suspicious activity early - Learn about new attack methods - Keep real systems safer by distracting hackers In short, a honeypot turns an attack into a learning opportunity and help us adds an extra layer of protection. Now that we know this, let's move on to the project.
