The problem though is that you can
- catch innocent people getting there either by error or because some bad
guy led them there
- catch a bad guy coming from for example a corporate network, and if your
honey pot can cause
a damage to their network, then you'll be able to attack the guy, but the
company will attack both
him and _you_.
in fr (and probably in other places), there's a "similar" law: you don't
have the right to protect your walls
with dangerous materials. If you do that and catch a thief, then you're ok.
but if the thief dies, you're good
for jail!
What I am meaning is that you should not do anything that makes you in the
following situation:
- a bad guy did you some harm
- you punish him (directly or not)
cos' in this situation, both of you may be pursued for your respective actions.
