Re: Joyous Holiday Hacking

[Stef <stefmit () gmail com>]

That's the opposite we did - myself and a colleague of mine, when we
setup a honeynet a few years back, at a college, for a research/paper
about security - i.e. we subscribed and pre-fab-ed ('cause we did not
know if some mailing list were clever enough to reject real
responders) "out of office" messages, for email addresses belonging to
domains registered by us, with only honeypots at the other end ... and
then we carried out analysis/statistics for time between postings and
honeypot being hit, and by whom ;)

... so - be careful before you jump to "out of office" messages - they
may not be what they appear :)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, now!
