I wouldn't suggest that you do so though...

Ooh... I want one... So tempting...

I am so tempted it's not even funny.

This would be a cool email address: vader@executor.mil

Don't tempt me.

I think it's a trap to lure in "suspicious" people.

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2003-01-26 06:33pm

Or an effort by that one organization run by Pointdexter. Perhaps they want to catalogue potentially "suspicious" people this way---after all, "trouble-makers" such as hackers and such would surely be tempted to muck around with mil servers.

It's really all too easy to set up one of those sites using those links, too simple to be a ruse really, the fact it's so simple would scare off most hackers.

Ironically, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld recently ordered DoD to purge military Web sites of information that might benefit evildoers. That's all well and good, but it might behoove the DoD to stop offering them admin privileges first.

LOL

This is probably a honeypot. Mess with it and you're likely to wind up in Gitmo.

You'd be hard to trace if you used a different browser than usual, and had a good proxy...

I agree (though I'm not sure honeypot is the right term to use here...). This seems like the sort of thing the Agency would think up to catch malevolent hackers. It seems way too easy, even for our government.

"Venus fly trap" would be better but "honeypot" is the actual term used in the network security business.

*Shrug* I've just always heard it used more for usage of agents. Like Russia's Ravens.
