They can be used to identify and defeat unsuspecting blackhat attackers.
Wireless Honeypot Countermeasures
Wireless technologies have spread quickly in recent years and are now widely deployed in corporate environments as well as at home. The human dependency on those technologies has increased to the point where one can find wireless devices almost everywhere, fromwireless, class, honeypots, honeypot, network, could, access, attacks, honeyd, attackers, linksys, networks, simulate, figure, traffic, point, clientsHoneypots and Honeynets

From a counter-intelligence perspective, standard honeypot/honeynet technologies have not bared much fruit in the way of web attack data. Web-based honeypots have not been as successful as OS level or other honeypot applications (such as SMTP) due to the lack of their perceived value. Deploying an
