Microsofts "Honeymonkey" Project
g0bshiTe writes "Ever hear the saying, 'given enough time a room full of monkeys could type out Shakespeare'? Well Microsoft seems to be taking this saying to heart, and taking a cue from the Honeynet project, they have created what they have dubbed 'honeymonkeys.' Security Focus has an article which describes this honeymonkey network, which is little more than a network of virtual Windows XP boxes in various patch states. These boxes are setup to crawl the seedier side of the web in search of vulnerabilities not bieng reported, and are being actively exploited in an attempt to further secure their product. Sounds like a decent idea from the Redmond crew to me."
And yet every +4 post here, with the exception of 1, is a rip on M$.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a M$ lover, but look, their idea is decent, you have to admit. And yet where is the intelligent discussion of the matter? None.
M$ finally does something good and everyone rips on them. What a bunch of dorks.
There's a reason your jobs are getting shipped to India!
