AKA: TOCTOU
race condition involving the checking of the state of a part of a system (such as a security credential) and the use of the results of that check.
basically:
- check data X X <- data is modified out-of-band
- use data X
can happen when a program may run concurrently between 1 and 2 and has access to the data.
7. Honeypot
properties

The goal of honeypots is to attract and engage attackers for a sufficiently long period to obtain high-level Indicators of Compromise (IoC) such as attack tools and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). Thus, a honeypot needs to emulate essential services in the production network and grant the attacker the freedom to perform adversarial activities to increase its attractiveness to the attacker. Although the honeypot is a controlled environment and can be monitored by using tools such as honeywall, attackers may still be able to use some honeypots as pivot nodes to penetrate production systems.
