What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Django app that serves a fake admin login screen at the standard /admin/ URL to trap unauthorized access attempts. It logs and notifies site admins of these attempts while the real admin lives at a secret URL.

Use cases

  • detect brute-force attacks on my Django admin
  • get notified when someone tries to log into /admin/
  • hide my real Django admin URL behind a secret path
  • log unauthorized admin login attempts
  • add a honeypot to a Django site

When to choose

  • you run a Django site with an admin interface exposed to the internet
  • you want simple, low-effort visibility into admin attack attempts

When to avoid

  • you need a full WAF or intrusion detection system
  • your project is not Django
  • you need active blocking rather than logging and notification
