Honey monkeys are software used to detect malware and exploits in use by hackers even if these exploits have not been publicly reported. These automated applications simulate an average web user but collect data about any software that is installed or system changes that are made by a website.
The term is closely related to honeypot, which is a server setup to trap suspected hackers, either for surveillance or research purposes.
