Hello Lance, My option is a combination of two little modified, and maybe clarified.
A honeypot is a security resource used to monitor, log, and study theactions of unauthorized entities which probe, attack or compromise it. Davide Del Vecchio , Dante Alighieri - dante () alighieri org ~ www.alighieri.org Lance Spitzner writes:
Recently I released a paper attempting to define honeypots. I've received alot of great feedback on that. Some of the feedback has been we may be able to improve on the definition. Honeypots are extremely flexible and can be used for many different things. As such, I propose two different possibledefinitions. Comments/input GREATLY appreciated!
Option 1: --------- A honeypot is a security resource who's value lies in beingprobed, attacked, or compromised.
Option 2: ---------A honeypot is a resource operated to monitor the use by entities who are unauthorized, or have reason to believe they are unauthorized, to use those resources.
Do you have a preference for either defintion, a different defintion, or perhaps a combination of the both? If so, why?Let us know. Thanks!
