Lance,

     I would agree 100% for old times sake. 99% otherwise;-) I have been pondering this for a while. The idea I have had is to marry the two. For testing purposes I like the idea of a as per normal running snort. Then using a cd or whatever your comfortable with on the same grid run your honeypot. Then combine the assessment. There is the real risk incurred by having the honeypot living on the same device but this way you see sort of both perspectives. Doing the analysis would be interesting. AFAIK this is nothing new you would know better than me. This most likely should be separate with a analysis engine somewhere else. It is a valid idea IMO.
