I agree. I think a honeypot is only as good as where it is located,
if you are running a honeypot on a cable modem then I think you will
catch script kiddies 99% of the time. However, if your honeypot is
place deep inside a corporate network or a government network then
you might catch a more advanced hacker.

 Folks,

  I believe that FBI actual profiling is not honeypot based.
FBI uses network monitoring software such as "Carnivore" in
the network (In Europe existis Echelon). Honeypots does not
tracking criminals and terrorists :-). Honeypots are useful
to trap script kiddies mainly. These are not so dangerous...
What do you think?
regards,

  Marcelo.
