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.

      No, it's still lame.

      How many posts would a first poster post if a first poster could post first?

    Why do I feel so damn inadequate reading this article?

    Because you can't come up with any original jokes about penetration.

    You know the man they call Slimy Cox? It's not irrelevant or tired. He's a bit of a Honey pot boy.

    Do you have to hit "reply" first to be a first poster, or do you have to submit your post first? I'm unclear as to what determines the order of the posts.

  12. 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.
