I took a quick look at the links provided on his page, but I'm afraid I can't really see how this impacts honeyd. Admittedly I am no lawyer, but from what I understand reading through the amendments, the aim is to prevent someone from illegally intercepting or monitoring 'signals' through a telecommunications device, or avoid paying for a service. (Amongst other things.) One is allowed to receive these 'signals' if one has been authorised to do so by the service provider. I cannot see how honeyd would contravene these laws... Perhaps someone could explain? Honeyd is merely responding to 'signals' sent down the wire that are destined for that network, in the same way a web server would respond to 'signals' it received... Have I missed something?

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned here before but currently there's a disclaimer at the top of Neils Provos' page which restricts U.S. citizens from downloading a lot of his software /research including honeyd :/ Apparently new law passed in michigan (and proposed in many states) restricts access to certain crypto/steganography/honeypot
technologies.
How will this affect progress on honeyd Neils? Sad times indeed. John
