The term was really coined by Augusto Paes de Barros, during a discussion with Lance Spitzner in the Focus-IDS list.
I've been working with computers for over 35 years, and my eyes glazed over after the first two sentences. Buzz, buzz buzz. This article is awful. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be forum to exhibit one's jargon prowess. --QuicksilverT @ 16:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- Err.. what? I entirely agree that Wikipedia has too many articles of the kind you describe, but this isn't one of them. PeteVerdon 15:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
--- Merge it; a honeynet is nothing more than a collection of honeypots.
I've been working with computers over 35 years too, and I think this page (honeytoken) is legitimate. Probably the other honeynet-type pages are legitimate too. Saying a honeynet is nothing more than a collection of honeypots is like saying a freeway is nothing more than a collection of cars... so why not list "road" and "freeway" under the generic terms of "asphalt" or "car"?
Why this urge to merge? List same topics under one umbrella, yes, but list related topics under multiple headings... that's what links are for.
Geez, is this what they mean when they talk about the difference between is-a and has-a links? lol Damon Simms 02:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
