From: dropstatd at hush.ai (dropstatd@...h.ai) Subject: proxy honeynet -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings list. I am considering setting up what I have called a Proxy Honeynet to study attack trends, identify blackhat activity and help to shutdown organised crime groups. The idea is basically to setup a number of open proxy servers on default ports around the world and to either: a) wait for scanners to pick them up b) submit them to proxylists and open proxy sites c) hand them out to known scammer/hacker groups on irc and web These open proxies would be heavily monitored and any attacks would be quickly identified, documented and reported to the appropriate people. Any surfing, email or chat traffic through the proxies would be logged and analysed. I am seeking suggestions as to the viability and legality of this idea. I am well aware that making available an open proxy service could leave the proxy owner responsible for all malicious activity originating from his/her server. One suggestion I have been given is to post a disclaimer on a web page on the server, stating something like: "this proxy service is private and not for unauthorised use. Any unauthorised usage will be subject to monitoring. Users of this service agree that they will be held responsible for any traffic passing through this service". I think this would be an interesting endeavour and could provide a real service to the Internet community in stemming illegal activities. Your comments are welcome either on the list or in private.
