If you want to really think about a "real-world" example of a honey pot
as it is often configured, it would be like:
You're a stereo shop and you set up a fake store front a few doors
down. On your real store-front, you have bars and obvious electronic
surveilance and lots of warning signs. On the fake store front, you
have no signs, and you leave the door locked with a cheap lock and no
deadbolt, but you have hidden cameras everywhere to take the person's
picture. When they leave with stereos that are actually empty shells of
broken equipment you didn't throw out, you go back in and lift finger
prints to give to the police.
Honey pots often "entice" a cracker to try and break into your system
because it looks easy.
