Tarpits for Microsoft Worms

Posted by michael on from the brer-fox-he-lay-low dept.

Digital_Quartz writes: "Wired News is reporting on a clever little tool by Tom Liston called LaBrea which uses unused IP addresses on a network to create virtual computers for worms and hackers to attack. LaBrea responds to requests in such a way as to keep the connection open forever, creating a "tarpit" in which worms like Code Red will get "stuck"."

      AIEEEYEEE! Annonymous Coward, you old cyberterrorist you!!! Soon we'll have laws to deal with people like you !!!

      Oh, wait, frknfrk didn't check the link and wasn't aware that hello.jpg hasn't been on the front page of goatse.cx since the WTO disaster.


      Just a reminder it's : http://goatse.cx/hello.jpg . If you just do the main link to the domain you get :

      "We, at Goatse.cx, mourn the unprecedented loss of life on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

      Let it be known terrorists, YOUR ASS IS NEXT!

      [ the receiver ] [ the giver ] [ feedback ] [ contrib ] "

      Truly, the good folks at goatse.cx have class.

    I laugh loudly in your general direction, you French smelly pig. Maybe you should have visited goatse yourself before you linked to it. Hahaha. It is a harmless text message re the terrorist attack. You have to use http://goatse.cx/goat.html to get to the picture now. Again, I laugh loudly at your idiocy. Hahahahaha..... (ps. yes I risked my eyesight in the pursuit of this knowledge, but this time I was lucky.)
