[TriLUG] Honeypots attract flies

[Mike Mueller]

I found this link at slashdot this AM.  While reading linked articles I 
recalled a converstation on this list about staged hacking to analyse 
vulnerabilities. The article's topic also ties in with recent conversations 
on security and exploitable flaws in OpenSSH and Apache.  The idea promoted 
on www.lucidic.net is to set out a "honeypot" seemingly unprotected systems 
and attract "flies" or hackers.  Then you can study the flies while they do 
fly things and share the results openly.  This strikes me as a powerful 
concept.

The whitepapers have a consistent and familiar look and feel thanks to 
DocBook (my current fascination).
