Deploying Honeypots for Home Network Monitoring

[paul at pauldotcom.com (Paul Asadoorian)]

Sounds like fun!

A word of caution though, anytime you setup a honeypot with the
intention of letting it fall victim to attackers keep it separate.  I
like to physically separate them, give them different IP ranges, use a
separate firewall, etc...  Also, you will want to rate limit the out
going traffic and monitor closely (the last thing you want is your IP
banned because your honeypot is sending SPAM).

I'd take a look at the Honeynet Project (http://www.honeynet.org/) for
more information.

Cheers,
Paul
