Web Honeynet Project IDs Attackers

narramissic writes "The Web Honeynet Project, an independent group of Honeynet researchers from Securiteam and the ITOSF, is putting a new twist on Web application honeynets by naming not only the attack details, but the IP addresses and other tracking information about the attackers as well. As security consultant Brent Huston notes, 'This approach is not unheard of, as lists of known high-volume attackers have been circulating through the Net for several years, but this is the first time someone has applied the honeynet concept to making attacker IP data publicly known.'"

    as far as i know you can call me a big doo doo head all you want. but what you cant say is that my post is "killing babies in 3rd world contries" I promise not to call you a 'big doo doo head' if you promise to restrain your posts in a fashion that prevents them from harming those poor babies in 3rd world countries, because let's face it, Madonna can't save them all.

    Won't somebody think of he children!
