Build A Darknet To Capture Naughty Traffic

Posted by timothy on from the then-bend-it-to-your-evil-will dept.

DM_NeoFLeX writes "Have some routable Address Space lying around? You might want to build a DarkNet. The folks over at Team Cymru have outlined instructions for creating one with FreeBSD and as little as /32 routable space. From the article: 'A Darknet is a portion of routed, allocated IP space in which no active services or servers reside. These are 'dark' because there is, seemingly, nothing within these networks. Any packet that enters a Darknet is by its presence Aberrant.' Darknets can provide useful information for tracking the flow of naughty network traffic."

    who saw their web site and was transported back to 1996? I half expected a looping MIDI background song, and a request for some obscure, obsolete plugin, or maybe a Netscape 3 Now! button.

    Seriously, if anyone from there is reading this, ditch the ugly background image, and get some up to date design!. Sheesh. Just like a Welshman to have an ugly webpage.

    Yet another example of UserID Profiling. Low userID doesnt automaticaly get my respect. The typical low userID attitude is "I got here first so its mine! all mine! hahahahahah mine! Get the hell out of my slashdot you high userID scum" or something to that effect. But I still see tons of low usersIDs spewing crap/FUD.

    and look at that im a "high" userID LOL

    Well, I guess you can't see it, but on my user page it says "Karma: Excellent" They could mod this one down to -1 it wouldn't matter. You really have to be a consistant ass for a long time to damage the karma.
