A honeypot is a system that acts as a trap for cyber-attackers by simulating a real system. It contains no useful data for the attacker but is closely monitored and analysed by its operators. HosTage is an Android implementation of a honeypot that provides emulation of several network protocols. It has been developed jointly by Aalborg University (Denmark) and Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany) and is a part of the Honeynet Project.
