Abstract

Honeypots and honeynets are common tools for network security and network forensics. The deployment and usage of these tools is affected by a number of the technical and legal issues. It is very important to consider both issues together. Therefore, paper outlines technical aspects of honeynet and discusses the liability of honeypot’s and honeynet’s administrator. Paper deals with civil and criminal liability. Also paper focuses on cybercrime and liability of attackers.
