This became indeed my Sunday entertainment. I came up with two use cases, which I believe are good:
- Brute Force / Logon Page protection > 302 redirect the malicious actor to a fake site, trick him/her to believe he/she had a successful login. Might be an airgapped copy of your real site. Analyse the malicous actors movement on the fake site.
- Bot Defense > e.g. Bot does a mass sign up on a loyalty program. Make a (slow loading) honey page to trick the bot into believing that it succesfully signed up. Let the hacker exhaust his/her resources.
I'd not use honeypages for each and everything. Hosting them requires extra resources, security measures and time effort.
