Wireless honeypots

[Matt Harris <mdh () unix si edu>]

Has anyone every theorized the possibility of a wireless honeypot - that
is, a wireless ethernet with a wide-open access point (or a somewhat
more secured one if you want more interesting data...) with maybe one or
two honeypot hosts behind it (not connected to the internet, so no worry
of problems with being used as a launchpoint for attacks)?  Sounds like
a possibly fun idea - I'm thinking about doing this in various
geographic areas (my workplace in downtown DC, my home in Bowie MD, etc)
in order to gather statistical data about who/where is
sniffing/searching for open wireless ethernet access.  If anyone else
finds this idea interested let me know, maybe we could correlate
efforts, etc.
