A honeypot would be the same as you have now; the only distinction is that you allow kiddies to penetrate a honeypot system, whereas you take action to exclude them or prosecute them in a non-honeypot system. As a general rule, though, virtually nothing can be done about script kiddies. They are usually underage, and thus completely immune to prosecution, in the United States. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bsd Neophyte" <bsdneophyte@yahoo.com> To: "Anthony Atkielski" <anthony@freebie.atkielski.com>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 00:05 Subject: Re: script-kiddie trap? > > I don't want to keep them out really.
