I want to share a \"honeypot\" folder on a Windows 7 machine connected to a rout

Question

I want to share a "honeypot" folder on a Windows 7 machine connected to a router. The only shared folder in the local workgroup connected to this router is the honeypot folder, which allows unrestricted access to anyone on the local network. I want to then allow anybody in range to connect to the router via unsecured wireless.

How safe is this? With basic Windows security auditing on the honeypot folder, how specific is the information that I can I get on anyone who accesses it with wireless? I don't have any interest in a honeypot exposed to the internet at large via SSH, FTP, etc., and I'm only interested in attempts to access this shared folder via wireless.

Explanation / Answer

As has been mentioned by others do not do something like this on a PC that you intend to use as the device maybe attacked in other ways.

I personally would also separate this machine from the rest of the network to help protect any other devices on the network. Last thing you want to do is to accidentally open the rest of your network to attack. Depending on your network configuration
