New whitepaper released & a question to the community

["Michael Anuzis" <michael_anuzis () hotmail com>]

Fellow honeypotting community, I've released another whitepaper recently. 
This time targetted more towards beginners in the honeypot research realm, 
regarding some of the diff pros/cons that can be seen with different the 
different types of access you decide to give your honeypot. I realize the 
list I created is small and only covers 5 basic examples out of the 
thousands of possibilities. The whitepaper was simply intended to offer a 
basic introduction to the topic of how you allow access, which may not seem 
so important to a beginner at first glance. For those interested the paper 
is available at http://www.lucidic.net/whitepapers/manuzis-2-22-2003.html

Also, a question to the community. I couldn't continue my honeypotting 
research for a while due to my life getting excessively busy, but now I've 
tried returning to my research and setting up a few honeynets and I'm not 
getting any bites at all. I've got a default install of a RedHat7.2 box set 
up with wuftpd2.6.1-18 enabled which (I'm pretty sure) is vuln to a remote 
root compromise, but no one's taking it. Could anyone out there who is 
currently/actively running successful honeypots offer me any advice on which 
OS/vulnerability (bait) I may try if I want to catch some of today's 
hackers?

Thanks in advance!
