The "Google Hack" Honeypot
An interesting experiment -- thanks to the folks at the SANS ISC Handlers Desk for bringing our attention to it.
What is it?
From their web page, over at sourceforge.net:
Google Hack Honeypot is the reaction to a new type of malicious web traffic: search engine hackers. GHH is a “Google Hack” honeypot. It is designed to provide reconaissance against attackers that use search engines as a hacking tool against your resources. GHH implements honeypot theory to provide additional security to your web presence.
These insecure tools, when combined with the power of a search engine and index which Google provides, results in a convenient attack vector for malicious users. GHH is a tool to combat this threat.
