Just put an unpatched Windows box on the 'net. You should collect plenty.

Subject: collecting spyware with a honeypot

Hello!
I wold like to setup a honeypot for collecting spyware and adware. As
you know, spayware require user action, so i can't use the classic
honeypot method to connect it on the internet and let the "bad guys"
attack it.

I google a little bit on this project and i didn't find a point of
starting this project. Can you help me with some ideas or some links
about how can i deploy this kind of honeypot in a such way that it
should receive fresh spayware and adware?

Thanks in advice!
George
