I just read the article on securityforce.com. posssible loop-hole in using a redirect, to redirect hacker traffic from a production system to a honeypot the hacker could sue/countersue for misrepresentation and entrapment. That goes for both the private company and the government. As far as the hackers getting in through other means beside telnet or a webpage and how to notify there are numerous messages that you can use to notify that the machine is being monitored. But your right it is sickening. The fact that using a honeypot to lure hackers away from production machines could land you in prison. The fact that the act hacking any machine is a felony should but doesn't protect the company from litigation. ??? I mean a company doesn't have the right to protect what is his and so what if he wants to use something that could help capture "wanted criminals", the company should be rewarded for doing a good deed, but instead they get litigation. Come on what kind of society have we created for ourselves ????
