Honeypots are as sticky as ever
,----[ Quote ]
| The list of what they cover is far too long to report here, but let's say
| they get to 95 percent of what any honeypot enthusiast would want to read
| about. My favourite subjects in the book are user-mode Linux, Honeyd,
| Honeywall, honeyclients, collecting malware with honeypots, tracking botnets,
| and analysing malware.
|
| The only downsides I could even come up with is that the book deals with a
| lot of Unix/Linux-only products, just like the honeypot software world, which
| might be a put-off for Windows-only readers. And it didn't cover Kfsensor, my
| favourite Windows honeypot product.

| happening to any PC you connect to the net.

| An investigation by the BBC News website has established the scale of
