Know Your Enemy: Learning about Security Threats 2/e
by Mirko Zorz - Tuesday, 2 November 2004.

In order to defeat the enemy you must first understand the enemy. The
Honeynet Project has been trying to understand the enemy for a while
now, and they are willing to share all they have learned with the
security community. Some years ago honeynets were considered to be an
exotic way of learning about computer security. With the help of the
Honeynet Project and their papers, conferences as well as Lance
Spitzner's Honeypots book, a myriad of security professionals all over
the world have embraced honeynets and made them their weapon of choice.
