- Ethical: The second issue is one of ethics. The Honeynet Research Alliance is in the process of reviewing and better documenting theseissues in their charter, which you can find online now at http://www.honeynet.org/alliance/charter.txt. The suggestion above would most likely violate current ethical guidelines.
Hmmm. It's by no means obvious to me why it might be considered "unethical" to engage a wrong-doer in discourse, or to join an IRC channel that he had set up. There's no intrinsic harm to anyone in doing either. Perhaps "ethics" is the wrong term; aren't we really talking about how to snoop on snoopers without putting onself in peril of legal action? From a truly ethical POV, it seems to me that passive observation of potentially criminal acts is more unethical than intervention. -- Jack.
