Honeypots: PhD research Query

[Will Fitz <secureknowledge () yahoo com>]

Dear all,
 
I am intending to pursue my PhD in computer security. 
 
Has anyone got any experience in what it takes to do a PhD?
 
I need to refine an area of research. There are so many areas and i don't want to pick an area that may get solved 
while i do my PhD and hence render my work useless. This will always be an issues i guess!
 
anyone got any ideas on:

Honeypots & Intrustion Detection
 
What about other areas in general?
 
regards
Secure.
