Honeypots are smart contracts with a design flaw that allows an arbitrary user to drain Ether (Ethereum’s native currency) from the contract if the user sends a specific amount of Ether to the contract ahead of time. When the user attempts to exploit this apparent flaw, a second, yet unknown, trapdoor opens, preventing the ether draining from succeeding.
The goal is for the user to focus solely on the visible flaw and ignore any indications that the contract has a secondary flaw. Honeypot attacks work because people are frequently duped, just as they are in other types of fraud. As a result, people’s avarice and assumptions make it difficult to quantify risk.
