Honeypots should be mentioned, to combine with IDS.
They work hand in hand to gather useful data, provide a decoy.

Well,I used to be a fan of honeypot intrusion detection and used it at a couple of client sites.However, when one of the sites got compromised by hackers, the network admin blamed my honeypot program though there was no trace of the honeypot being the cause of the break in.

My suggestion.. if you dont want to get blamed for intrusion, do not use honeypot intrusion detection.
