I think that the issue here would be what constitutes analysis.  I 
would suspect strongly that directing someone to a "honey net" so 
that you can analyze their attack would definitely fall under the 
wording on this banner.  While I do not pretend to be an expert in 
the laws and legalities of every country, this definition of analysis 
seems logical to me.  I would suggest that you might consult a 
technical law firm in your locale.
