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.'"

I believe defamation is when you say somebody did something they -didn't- do. otherwise you're just stating a fact. (I could be wrong though.)

For instance, I could say your post was legally incorrect; and if I'm right, then that is a fact, not defamation. If I said you're a big doo doo head for doing that.... defamation!

(making it the first declaration of defecation description defamation ever).
