What is a Honeypot?
Honeypot is an anti-spam technique that uses a field hidden from humans through design options in Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) but remains visible to bots and spammers. By virtue of these annoyances’ programming, they will attempt to fill in every single field they can find in a web form. When it completes the hidden field, the Honeypot programming recognizes it as a fake submission and prevents the data from being captured, thus protecting the valid data submitted by human beings.
