Using Honeypots to Fight Worms

scubacuda writes "Laurent Oudout, an active member of the French Honeynet Project (part of the Honeynet Alliance), has written a paper evaluating the usefulness of using honeypots in fighting Internet worms. (Imagine a well-constructed honeypot framework capturing a worm, redirecting worm traffic to fake services, and launching counter attacks to clean infected hosts!)"

    GNAA Announces acquisition of SCO
    By Tim Copperfield
    New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) today announced acquisition of The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in gay niggers.

    GNAA today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. GNAA's acquisition of SCO technology will help GNAA sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, GNAA will use SCO engineering expertise and technology to enhance the GNAA member services.

    "I'd love to see these GNAA types slowly consumed by millions of swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the GNAA success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.

    "This GNAA shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.

    macewan, on linuxquestions said "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want GNAA to buy them??"

    After careful consideration and debate, GNAA board of directors agreed to purchase 6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO, for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for gay niggers that were working in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.

    If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO niggers from their Lindon, UT offices to the GNAA Headquarters in New York.

    Hello folks,

    You may know me from my website: goatse.cx.
    Yeah that's good ol' me right there on the front page. I checked my server
    logs last week and observed a lot of traffic to and from /. I think I am a
    popular and much liked person around here. Thank you!

    Okay now to the main reason I posted this comment. It may be slightly OT,
    but I don't know what else to do. The /. editors rejected my submission to
    Ask Slashdot. Ofcourse, I could've suggested a poll option, but I doubt
    that would've made it past them either. So here is what I would like to
    ask, in a nutshell.

    I have been thinking of starting a subscription based service to my
    website. You know the rising cost of living nowadays, not to mention my
    ever increasing bandwidth bills (I'm getting famous!). I have also been
    asked to add flash/animated versions of my popular pictures. I intend to
    read up on some Web page development stuff, or if the cashflow works out,
    even hire a programmer -- my small contribution to the US and world
    economy!

    But to achieve all this, I would need to gather some statistics. How many
    of you would be interested in subscribing to my website for, say,
    $10/month? It's a rough figure, but the details can be worked out later.
    For now, I need to know the general response from you guys -- to see if
    the idea is feasible. It would help if the votes are lined up neatly in
    this thread. Thanks!

    And lastly, any ideas/suggestions/feedback about my website is welcome!

    Thanks again people, looking forward to hearing from you, and keep
    visiting!

    Warm Regards,
    GX
