A month ago I've released a little toy project: a web scraper tar pit. I released a new version of it, addressing a few issues, improving both code and documentation, and renaming the daemon to avoid a name clash. :)
I figured I could just mention it again, since back then I didn't have a rss feed with releases.
Always fun to see more people doing this. One thing I think would help would be to add a mention to the documentation of how this differs from existing projects like Iocaine or Nepenthes.
Good idea, thanks.
Also, the main reason why I wrote my own is because using an existing one wouldn't have been as entertaining... :D
The bot monitoring parts were an interesting read! I'm going to borrow the per-op unique id idea, and see how "my" pet bots behave.
Thank you!
Thank you. Feel free to drop me an email if you gain any insight from it. Monitoring bots and thinking of evil traps is sort of fun :D I have some ideas.
