Without the word monitoring, the defintion would look like this. "A honeypot is an information system resource who's value lies in unauthorized or illicit use of that resource" Thoughts? Since the idea that the honeypot is used to gather infomation how about: "A honeypot is an information system resource who's value lies in the information that is gathered from unauthorized or illicit use of that resource" -e -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
I happen to like a combination of Steve Barnet's response: You may want to consider replacing the personal pronoun "whose" with that's. The pronoun is still a bit awkward. with Eric's version: "A honeypot is an information system resource who's value lies in the information that is gathered from unauthorized or illicit use of that resource" to produce: "A honeypot is an information system resource that's value lies in the information that is gathered from unauthorized or illicit use of that resource". -Jack
