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."

    Ahh, there's nothing as useless as a "first post" post except a "first post" post that isn't actually the first post.

  5. What about robots.txt? by johnnytv · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    user-agent: * Disallow: email.htm Disallow: /cgi-bin/ Disallow: /webmail/src/ Prevents Google or other robots from indexing these areas. Or better yet, .htpasswd allows basic auth for sensitive areas under apache. Problem with the honeypot idea is it dissallows proper users from finding the correct URL to web-services.
