    I agree, Becky Bace's term mentioned is not applicable to Intrusion
    Detection as it is known today. Her assumptions were solely based on
    host-integrity

    Regarding Becky Bace's use of the term "target-based
    IDS":

    Her "Intrusion Detection" has a 2000 copyright. On page 38 she says:

    "Target-based monitors function a bit differently from the other
    monitors...[they] use cryptographic hash functions to detect alterations
    to system objects and then compare these alterations to a policy."

    She's talking about integrity verification software like Tripwire.

    This 31 Oct 00 post to focus-IDS by Gene Kim mentions this specifically:

    http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/sf/ids/2000-q4/0071.html

    Marty coined the term "target-based IDS" with respect to non-Tripwire
    implementations as far as I can tell.
    :)
