I don't want to keep them out really. Someone's been trying to harass me. I am pretty sure I know who it is. This person doesn't really know much, but they are trying to get in by using some stupid scripts. The epitome of a push-button-hacker. I want to gather some evidence against them and submit it to their ISP. A honeypot is way to complicated for me. I really don't know enough about FreeBSD to be able to protect myself or catch them. --- Anthony Atkielski <anthony@freebie.atkielski.com> wrote: > Perhaps you're thinking about "honeypots," real systems operated > normally but > closely monitored with the specific purpose of inviting attention from > script > kiddies and other dregs.
