Joe Stewart is currently "Director of Malware Research" at SecureWorks (a private securityconsultancy) [read reverse engineering, highly trained lab dog & sec-con hobo].  Joe has participated in development for:  http://www.joestewart.org/?page_id=5

and submitted extensive virus content contributions and research to various projects. Most of the top level reverse engineers nationally interact either via test venues, information sharing or conferences.

So, yea, he's a Honeywell project contributer (or reverse engineer).

The Honeynet project (sponsoring 9 projects in Google's Summer of Code this year) has a really great LiveCD called Roo, that creates an immediate trap of magnificent proportions:

Roo, like Knoppix Tools on a USB key, is one of those must have items for everyone.  Be careful however of the legal implications, which include liability (you built it insecure, knowingly - what is someone uses it as a jumping off place?), complicity, entrapment and more.  If you are game, it's exceedingly fun; rather like a Cracker SimCity?

Honeynet reverse engineers also built a very amusing "Eye Chart" for determining immediate infection with the worm:  http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/infection_test/cfeyechart.html

 According to http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage  this was created by Joe Stewart from SecureWorks.  I just wondered if he is part of what you referred to as "Honeynet reverse engineers"?
