We could not have written this book on our own. While writing this book, we borrowed from the knowledge of many researchers and practitioners who have moved honeypots forward over the years. However, besides concrete technical help, many people helped us also with other aspects that go into writing a book. We owe
Thanks to Thérèse Pasquesi for reviewing and editing chapters, cooking fantastic Italian food, and her patience, especially when writing the book took entire weekends.
Thanks to our anonymous reviewers and Stefan Kelm, Jose Nazario, Cyrus Peikari, Dug Song, Lance Spitzner, and Lenny Zeltser for their helpful feedback and constructive criticism.
Special thanks to Lance Spitzner for organizing the Honeynet Project, since the authors would not have known each other but for the contacts provided by Lance. Moreover, this book would not have been possible without Laurent Oudot.
Many thanks to our editor, Jessica Goldstein, and her assistant, Romny French. Moreover, Kristin Weinberger helped us out when Jessica was on maternity leave. Without the people from Addison-Wesley, this book would not have been possible. We would also like to thank Mary Franz, who got us involved in this project to begin with.
Without your help, this book would not have been possible.
