If I can detect and own a botnet that is attacking me, and reverse it on its herders, I think that is a highly respectable thing to do.I disagree. Botnets are always (to a first and probably even second approximation) made up of machines belonging to arm's-length third parties, and you have no more right to abuse them for your ends than those abusing them to attack you do. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
