Thoughts? OPTION A -------- "A honeypot is an information system resource who's value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised" OPTION B -------- "A honeypot is an information system resource who's value lies in monitoring unauthorized or illicit use of that resource"A honeypot is an information system resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised, and may contribute to the monitoring of unauthorized or illicit use of that resource.
I like the way you combined the options her, but I think both this and Lance's options miss one important subtlety. Honey{pots,nets,tokens} have no production purpose, so, by definition, any activity related to it is unauthorized and/or illicit. This distinction needs to be in the definition. -steve
