I'm planning on setting up something like these links describe:

http://www.webappsec.org/projects/honeypots/
http://honeypots.sourceforge.net/ope..._honeypots.pdf

Some things I need:

-Proxy software (free please)
-Various sniffing software (ethereal tcpdump cain are on the list...)
-Legal advice (disclaimers, cautions, anyone w/ experience)

Hopefully this will be my sunday project. Anyone care to help out with the above? I have no clue where to start choosing a proxy.

But that monitoring is what federal criminal law calls "interception of communications," said Salgado, a felony that carries up to five years in prison. Fortunately for honeypot operators, there are exemptions to the Federal Wiretap Act that could be applied to some honeypot configurations, but they still leave many hacker traps in a legal danger zone
Thanks!
