The "Google Hack" Honeypot

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the so-many-malicious-robots-hitting-us-every-day dept.

An anonymous reader writes "On the heels of Google Hacking for Penetration Testers, and Johnny Long's talks at Blackhat/Defcon over the weekend, comes the "Google Hack" Honeypot, a honeypot designed to lure in malicious search engine activity. They had a second release of their tools on monday, according to their site."

    Wait, they used their tools for penetration testing? And a honeypot? I am going to search google images for penetration, honeypot and tool and see if I can add anything to the discussion

      "Your search - penetration honeypot tool - did not match any documents."

      It isn't nice to get people's expectations up like that :P

    Why do I feel so damn inadequate reading this article?

    Because when you read "honey pot" you immediately thought of catching hackers instead of what you should have thought of.

    Sad isn't it? ;-)

    I dunno. I had an 8" floppy. Mabel may have been plain, but she never complained.

    Then one year it was 5.25" floppy, a few years later it was 3.5" and kinda stiff, and nowadays it's all about these little compact flash thingies.

    Must be something Google's putting in the water.

    Or does this seem a little... Strange? I mean, it's all well and good to leave a honeypot out, but I think this is a bad move by Google. What about all those bees?

    Between this article and the duped article mentioning Johnny Long's book, I think the editors just like the words like "penetration" and "long".

    Ok, there's my dirty post for the day.

    They should change "I'm feeling lucky" to "Are you feeling lucky, punk?"
