Which network component is designed to attract and/or distract intruders but is avoided by valid users?

Honeypot

Explanation:

A honeypot is a bait system that traps hackers or tracking unusual or new methods of hacking. Honeypots are designed to attract and trick intruders deliberately, and to detect malicious and fraudulent activities carried out on the Internet. It consists of data which seems to be a valid part of the site but in fact it is monitored and tracked and seems to contain information valuable for intruders but intruders are then restricted. The main advantage of honeypots is their ease of use. Another benefit is that even though honeypots collect limited amounts of information regarding hackers, the information is considered highly useful for researching and revealing the intentions of intruders.
