What we know
This study examines how the proportion of honeypots deployed in a network influences an adversary's decisions, using a deception game with two consecutive stages: probe and attack. Participants were randomly assigned to conditions with small, medium, or large honeypot proportions, and the authors report that as the honeypot proportion increased, honeypot-directed and no-attack actions increased dramatically.
