Honeypots: Definitions and Values

Last year I attempted to define and describe what honeypots
are in the paper "Honeypots: Definitions and Values".  Since
then, both honeypot technologies and our understanding of
them has improved.  As such, I've totally re-written the 
paper to better refelct the flexibility and capabilities of 
honeypots.  I thought this group may be interested in the 
paper, as one of the primary values of honeypots is detection.
