Need help creating a honeypot (with a sting)

2eXtreme · 09-07-2006, 08:42 AM

Hey guys

I hate people leeching off my wireless, so I was wondering if anyone knew any sites that show you, or knew themselves, how to set up a wireless honeypot? Basically what I need is a step by step tutorial on creating a honeypot that acts as a decoy to my real wireless network. I would also like to make it so that when a leecher tries to access my wireless, a trojan, or a virus is downloaded onto their computer, rubbing salt in their wounds, just to make sure they dont try it again. My main reason for wanting this is that WEP encryption isn't as secure nowadays, and I want to protect my wireless to the highest possible degree. If the thing with trojans and virii isn't possible, could someone give me a tutorial on creating a honeypot, just a simple decoy, nothing more...

Thanks very much for any help given!

Use WPA2, add in MAC filtering.

I hope you realize that if you were able to do as you wish, you would be subject to criminal and civil penalties. What you want to do is illegal.

Really? okay, sorry for being a n00b, it was very careless of me to get such an idea without processing it correctly. So is WPA2 a program i can ude to create a honeypot?

It is a wireless security step to use instead of WEP.
