Listening to TWiET thinking, how to set up and use a honey pot would be a good security episode when we get further, probably much further, into our networking 101 2 3.... series

I agree.

And related to it... it you are using one, how to keep it from being an attractant (indirect exposure) to the rest of your (hidden) infrastructure/system. If I were engaging in intrusion, and found a honeypot ... I would tend to think "okay... that was too easy. What is this trying to distract me from finding?" and then dig deeper.

That's only assuming you know who your target is, if you just found that honey pot by scanning you probably have no idea who's system it is, to you it just looks like any other.

I want to make one to use as a trigger to send me a message to know something made it past my firewall and I need to start reviewing logs and looking closer at devices and traffic.
