The Tartarus Deception Engine just banished this attacker to a fake reality. Here's what they see vs
what's real.

🛡 WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
Real server: completely untouched
Tartarus intercepted the probe after 3rd block
Attacker IP logged + fingerprinted
All commands forwarded to intelligence DB
Candle ML flags this IP for global blocklist
Chitchat gossip broadcasts alert to all nodes
⚠ Deceptive Defense: Honeypots don't just stop attacks — they turn attackers
into unwitting intelligence sources. This is how nation-states study hacker TTPs (Tactics,
Techniques & Procedures).
