Hi,

I was wondering recently when I picked up a bit of spyware what the favourite marketing affiliate 
advertisement companies for hackers were.  You know, affiliatefuture, dollarrevenue etc, the click 
through type guys.  If honeynet organizations can compile a list of the common ones, and someone 
looks at ones they do not use, then checks the requirements to apply... whilst I'm sure the answer 
will be obvious, presumably cost and/or address requirements etc, some proper research might help 
create some business best practices for such companies.  I haven't read much about that.

Of course, as you're a student and should be drinking not working, Pro's and Cons of Virtual 
Honeynets over actual hardware should be pretty straightforward.

Best Regards
Colin
