Victim host's also termed as Honey_pot. These are PC's running special software, which to any intruder appear as a compromised resource. They are used to gain the attention of the intruder, and keep them 'busy'. This keeps the intruders away from the real systems and protect them from being compromised. By looking at the patterns the intruder is using to hack, can be used to make the other systems stronger and hence less vulnerable.
