  Mos't attackers/worms identify a server with its banner. With a HTTP

research honeypot, you will probably be receiving plenty of exploits if
you emulate some old vulnerabile IIS stuff[1].
You're right, but then you're losing a possibility to look what they're
doing after the exploit succeeds. That kind of honeypot is easier to 
play with, but you lose a lot, no way to capture their tools, maybe some
IRC talks, behaviors after break-in...

ps. please, cut useless quotes and signatures.
