Honeypots & virtual honeypots are like 'Designated Decoys'.

They're put in to look like something attractive to a hacker (eg, a server might appear to contain personal info, cc numbers) but are not 'real' pieces of your network.

When a hacker gets lured into your noneypot, the idea is you're expecting them, so you've got your virtual hidden cameras running to see how the hacker attempts to compromise the system(s).
