quoth the Dave Jones:
> TARPIT
Just a caveat: Keep in mind that if a bad guy figures out you are using
TARPIT, the very nature of it (ie: persistant connections) opens your box to
a severe DOS vulnerability, especially if said bad guy has a bot-net at his
disposal.
If you know what you are doing, fair enough, but do keep this in mind if you
intend to use TARPIT on an outward facing box.
