...Leads past that point are likely to be interpreted as an attempt at misdirection...

Maybe. But did you ever stop and think that maybe the said hacker is actively giving the phisher another avenue of misdirection?

If the phisher becomes aware that he is actively being probed for information, what's stopping him from reversing the hack to get the hacker busted (perhaps anonymously) to create a diversion? Not saying it happenes everyday or that phishers are usually that smart, but it's definately plausible

I suppose if all else failed, you could do this. I however, would look into wireless just a little bit harder. There are all types of antennae mods you can get for range extending, and not to mention wireless repeaters. The problem is your average joe 6pack consumer wants results and wants them now. For your average slash dotter like myself, we're more prone to get the wireless running and tweaking every aspect of the router from angle, transmit power, etc. to milk every last bit of performance.
