What are the risk of opening a box on then net to use as a honeypot for testing/learning? As in, would it be easy for a "hacker/script kiddie" to take the box and use it to hack the NSA and blame me ;-)

I was thinking of using honeyd:

You really want to be asking that over on honeypots@securityfocus.com, as that's where *everybody* is to be found. Feel free to come back once you get to asking "How do I use selinux to secure a honeypot?" (answer - somebody needs to write .te and .fc files for honeyd).

Hmm.. actually, that *is* a very sensible thing to do. Any takers? ;)
