Added detailed educational content about honeypots to address the question "What is honeypot?" in the dev journal.

Changes Made

New Documentation (honeypots.md)

Created a comprehensive 158-line document covering:

  • Definition and Core Concepts: What honeypots are and their key characteristics
  • Classification System: Three different ways to categorize honeypots:
    • By interaction level (low vs high-interaction)
    • By purpose (production vs research)
    • By deployment type (server, client, honeynets)
  • Practical Applications: Common use cases including threat detection, intelligence gathering, and security research
  • Implementation Guide: Advantages, challenges, and best practices for deployment
  • Tool Landscape: Popular open-source and commercial honeypot solutions
  • Integration Strategies: How to incorporate honeypots into existing security architecture
  • Future Trends: AI/ML integration, cloud-native deployment, and IoT/OT honeypots

Enhanced Navigation (README.md)

Updated the repository's main README to include:

  • New "Topics Covered" section for better organization
  • Direct link to the honeypots documentation
  • Cybersecurity category structure for future expansion

The documentation is structured as educational content suitable for a developer's learning journal, providing both theoretical understanding and practical implementation guidance.

Fixes #16.
