Chuckle. More likely the honeypot would have 'used' the
attacker. ;-)
lol. could be.
next time i see him, i will ask if he has tried any more and if he set up
anything to log who "flies" were.
i do know that when they get attacker address with honeypot, never mentioned
how, that they do report to attackers isp and that many have been prosecuted.
That was my view also.
only reason i have ever seen/or applied, to firewall all systems behind
a router is for business security.
after all, if you can not trust your family, it is time to start thinking
about getting a new family.
i do have one family of friends where a younger brother keep breaking into
his older sister's computer to read her emails.
i asked him one time if he ever found anything good and his replied nothing
but a bunch of 'girlie stuff'.
i asked why he kept looking and his reply was 'i can hope, can't i?'
i asked no more.
