Puhleeze, do you really think that tax funded organizations have nothing better to do? Government faces a continual battle for resources and time. Setting up a "honeypot" as putzy as this would take time and effort that could be much better spent. Are you sure it's the NSA that is paranoid? Mark Lachniet
-----Original Message-----lol are you guys joking? They wouldn't allow an xss bug on their website on purpose come on now.You're not devious enough. Remember that the *best* place to put a honeypot is right out there in plain sight where it's likely to attract attention. So now they've grepped their Apache logs, and they've added several dozen people to their "suspected script kiddie" list. (Remember - the NSA probably knows more about proper airgapping than anybody. All *those* webservers have on them is non-sensitive content, so you can't actually *get* anything really interesting to happen - in the NSA view of the world, "public website gets defaced" isn't particularly interesting or noteworthy).
