I know it's out of the topic...but information on the web is vey limited
regarding the LaBrea program, and I just looking for someone who implemented
it and who is able to provide some feedback, starting from "does it really
stop scans (makes them really slow)?"..etc

I have an installation where LaBrea is running beautifully. The box is
running NT4 with FW-1 and LaBrea. It works great and slows scanners down
a bit, so that Snort (sniffing the external side) can detect them and
block them with SnortSam (running on the box). 

The only complaint is that LaBrea's logging clutters up the EventLog,
but who reads that anyway. The Eventlogs get pumped with Eventreporter
to a syslog server, and the data gets massaged and filtered there.

Frank
