Cloud computing systems have become very popular because they make it easy for users to store and access data from anywhere. At the same time, these systems face several security challenges. Attacks such as credential stuffing, password guessing, and brute-force attempts are common, where an attacker keeps trying different combinations of usernames and passwords to gain access.

To counteract these threats, one common method is to restrict the number of login attempts. When a user enters incorrect credentials multiple times, the account may be temporarily locked. While this approach can reduce unauthorized access, it does not help in understanding how the attacker is attempting to break into the system. As a result, administrators get very little information about attack patterns.

Firewalls are also used to filter and block suspicious requests. However, they mainly focus on prevention and do not provide detailed insights into attacker behavior. To address this issue, a honeypot system can be used. A honeypot is a dummy system designed to look like a real one and is placed between users and the actual backend server.
