Project Honeypot URLs

2009-12-16 Thread Alex
Hi all,

First, great conversation on the historic machines. My fondest
memory is of an 8080 CP/M machine I built with my dad that included
the cassette tape storage and later an 8 floppy drive. A very
rudimentary BASIC where we typed in sheets and sheets of code to play
a simple Star Trek game where '*' was the Klingons and '()' were the
good ships. There was no debugger, so when we entered it wrong, we had
to start at the top and read through the printouts to find the simple
typo.

Anyway, has anyone thought about incorporating the URLs from the
honeypot project into a block list?

They hit a billion spam messages this week, so thought it was an
opportune time to try and leverage their work.

Thanks,
Alex

I was trying to stay out of it ... but Star Trek dragged me in! My first
computer exposure was with a teletype terminal connected from a cabin in
Vermont to the MIT mainframe, circa 1969. We would spend our math class
beta testing our teacher's (Mac Oglesby) Star Trek program, along with a
few grad students (playing the Klingons) on the mainframe side. The game
ended up being installed on HP calculators, where it undoubtedly played
better than during our mainframe sessions. Talk about network latency!
Fire a photon torpedo and wait about 5 minutes to find out if you hit
anything. Good times. Sorry about the sidetrack ... carry on!
