Hi, I was reading an article about 'honeytrapping' ports to slow down port scanners, and it made reference to Perl, but I was wondering, how feasible in Python is a script that waits for requests to (normally unused) ports, and then malforms a response to those requests?
I'm aware this is illegal in some US states, but this is more of a 'how would you do that' scenario rather than 'I need to do this'. Sockets tend to use localhost? Java interpreters and Python interpreters all seem to call localhost. So, do sockets use ports? Or, do ports use sockets? Or, do programmes create sockets which can utilise ports? If so, can you access a port directly in Python? I always wanted to be able to the nitty gritty stuff like accessing a particular port, but I always thought I'd have to learn Cpp to do it.

And with it comes the only basic human duty, to take the consequences. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
