Three steps. Two minutes.
Generate a decoy. Place it where someone curious might look. Get a high-signal alert when it's touched.
- Step 01
Create a trap
Pick a type — URL, fake admin link, email alias, decoy doc, fake API key. Name it. Choose recipients.
- Step 02
Place it safely
Drop the decoy into a password manager, shared drive, internal wiki, or repo. We give you step-by-step instructions.
- Step 03
Get alerted
If anyone touches it, H0N3Y sends an alert with what happened and what to do next.
Six primitives that cover most small-business detection needs.
Each one is safe to deploy and impossible to mistake for normal traffic. Mix and match.
Email aliases
Dedicated inboxes that alert you the moment anyone emails them. Perfect for old vendor records.

Decoy documents
Auto-generated PDFs with embedded tracked links. Drop into shared drives, archived folders, password vaults.

Built for safe defensive use.
Honeytokens get a bad reputation when they're used carelessly. H0N3Y is designed with restraint and discipline.
H0N3Y does
- Logs safe access metadata (IP, user-agent, time)
- Alerts authorized defenders within seconds
- Gives plain-English next-step checklists
- Works with systems you already own
- Stores only hashed copies of fake API key secrets
H0N3Y does not
- Collect passwords or form contents
- Run code on visitor devices
- Track people outside authorized environments
- Impersonate real third-party services
- Replace incident response or legal advice

01
Severity is honest
High doesn't mean breach. It means a decoy you marked sensitive was touched. Every alert sets the right expectation.
02
Placement context first
The alert tells you where the trap was, not just that it fired. You know what to investigate before reading another line.
03
Plain-English next steps
No SIEM jargon. No 'remediate immediately.' Just an investigation checklist anyone in the business can run.
04
Metadata, not contents
We log what the request looked like, never what it contained. No form bodies, no credentials, ever.
Small-business friendly. No setup fees.

Common questions.
If your question isn't here, email us at hello@h0n3y.com — we read every reply.
Is this legal?
H0N3Y is designed for authorized defensive monitoring inside systems you own or are permitted to protect. We require an acknowledgement at signup and again before the first trap fires.
Does H0N3Y collect passwords?
No. We never accept or store credentials. Trap responses are generic 404s. Honeypot form snippets capture only trigger metadata — never the real submission contents.
What happens when a trap is triggered?
We record safe request metadata, dedupe noisy hits, email your alert recipients, and surface a placement-aware next-step checklist in the dashboard.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The MVP uses hosted links, email aliases, downloadable decoy documents, and copy-paste tokens. The contact-form honeypot is one line of HTML.
Is this a honeypot?
Closer to a honeytoken system — lightweight decoys that create high-fidelity alerts when accessed. We don't simulate full attacker environments.
