Interesting and amusing idea. Most of the wasted packets I get are IIS worm attempts -- not nearly as interesting.

    Surely we now need a `Museum of shoddy half-assed software which passes junk as validly formed data`?

    Already there: The Product and Technology Catalog. It even includes a demo if you use Opera to view it!

    Hey now,

    Recent exploits in wu_ftpd, sshd, telnetd, and bind did not force me to "upgrade" my linux server to Windows 2000 (it did force me to upgrade these packages...!). I know you're just joking, but security holes are not endemic to the Windows world. Sloppy coders are everywhere.
