What are the risk of opening a box on then net to use as a honeypot for testing/learning? As in, would it be easy for a "hacker/script kiddie" to take the box and use it to hack the NSA and blame me ;-) I was thinking of using honeyd: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/honeyd/ http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/honeyd/ Anyone recommend any good books for honeypots, I have found the following on amazon.com Honeypots: Tracking Hackers Know Your Enemy : Learning about Security Threats (2nd Edition) Network Intrusion Detection (3rd Edition) I'm pretty sure I have that ladder sitting on my bookshelf at home and will look when I get home tonight.
