"This has been a great year for honeypots, finally this method of collecting security information got its deserved place under the spotlight as more people began to realize the benefits that a honeypot, deployed in their organization, brings.
"In order to get the real picture of honeypots I contacted the person that's an authority on the subject--Lance Spitzner. He is the founder of the Honeynet Project, moderator of the honeypot mailing list, co-author of 'Know Your Enemy', author of 'Honeypots: Tracking Hackers' and also author of several whitepapers. He works as a senior security architect for Sun Microsystems, Inc.

I've been using them for several years now to learn about how attackers operate, and the latest threats. When I look back, I'm amazed at how much I've learned. I'm extremely excited about the future of honeypots, we have only begun to tap into their potential...'"
