It could very well be possible Jama. A HoneyNet generally tends to have weak security so security guys can observe, how the system is hacked, it gives them insight into current penetration methods and apps. However the I am going to give you free wireless access so I can hack into your box or potentially much more damaging sniff your network traffic is also very plausable. Open Wireless - especially domestic is an easy one for this as you are bound to have repeat offenders. Easiest way to do this, would be to build a squid box so that all of the traffic has to flow through that. Then you could use packet capture (wireshark) to collect data. DSniff available at insecure.org will help you sniff out those tricky user names and passwords for sites. Moral of the story... I read your email Dan After your post ,I checked HoneyNet and HoneyPot on the internet. Very interesting ideas. For the other case of WIFI traps, check this article I just found on the Internet http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/ptech/stories/DN-wifiphish_09bus.ART.State.Edition1.366845f.html Jama --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
