Tortured Potato writes "This white paper, by Michael Anuzis, details how he set up an OpenBSD 3.0 honeypot, watched it get cracked and then analyzed it -- all within 28 hours. Fascinating stuff...this is the first OpenBSD honeypot I've heard of."

Why is it that BSD users always feel the need to knock Linux? This article kicks off with "Most honeypots out there tend to be Redhat Linux as it's has the worst record for security out of pretty much every OS out there". RH is pretty damn secure compared with Windows, which seems to have a major security alert almost every day.
