Honey pots have several advantages, which are as follows:

* Small set of data: Honey pots collect small amounts of data, but almost all of this data is about real attacks or unauthorized activity.
* Reduced false positives: Honey pots almost detect or capture attacks or unauthorized activities that reduce false positives.
* False negatives: Honey pots detect and record any unseen or unnoticed attacks or behavior.
* Cost effective: Honey pots only interact with malicious activity. So there is no need for high performance resources.

Honey pots also have some disadvantages, which are as follows:

* Limited View: Honey pots can only see activities that interact with them. They cannot see or capture any attacks directed against existing systems.
* Discovery and Fingerprinting: Honey pots can be easily detected and fingerprinted by several tools.
* Risk of takeover: Since there are many security holes in honey pots, a malicious attacker can takeover the honey pot and can use it to gain access and hack other networks.
