....why would you do this?
I plan on making it available inside my own network, not public. This way if someone makes it past my security, I at least have something that might "catch" them in the act and disable my network so I can intervene. Just another security layer.
I have never thought about doing this... But this is actually such a good idea. I'm probably going to set this up myself
If you place this on the inside of your network and it triggers, youre either compromised or a scanner/ person triggered it.
That's the idea I think
one of the best ways to protect your friends is to leave juicy bait that only zero-sum people would try to steal
plus wasting malicious user's time also provides multiple benefits such as reducing the prevalence of spam and DDoS attacks
Do you not feel the itch of curiosity?
FOR SCIENCE!1!!
