arXiv:2610.02869v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous penetration testing agents conduct multi-step attacks by continuously adapting their plans and actions to target responses. As a common defense, honeypots can be deployed to divert these agents from real assets by presenting decoy services, while also supporting attack tracing and active counterattacks. However, conventional honeypots rely primarily on static artifacts and predefined responses, leaving them unable to adapt to the evolving attack strategies of autonomous penetration testing agents. To this end, we present AgentTrap, t
