I always found that honeypots also attracted MORE attention to the network, rather than serving as a tool of defense.

Essentially, even if you did get the police involved to the point where they could trace the hackers, chances are they are using some type of TOR technology, and the ones that aren't, the little bobby droptables of the world, probably aren't worth prosecuting.

Save yourself the headache and forgo the unnecessary risk and stress of honeypotting.

disclaimer: I am not a US citizen

What scares me infinitely more than giving my ID to a government institution for obtaining a service (drivers license, Liqour store, etc), is the fact that the public sector will be charged with creating a secure, robust, dependable system. It would seem like an absolute blessing for one with questionable morals to be able to steal identities, obtaining records for advert purposes, etc


I don't think they could do it successfully....

I enjoy the time that we spend together.
