Honeypots: Quarterly Reminder on Honeypots maillist

[Lance Spitzner <lance () honeynet org>]

Folks, I often see the same questions, issues, or mistakes 
raised on the honeypot maillist.  To make things easier for 
new members, and perhaps a friendly reminder for folks who 
have been on board for a while, I would like to post a 
"Quarterly Reminder" to the maillist.  As such, expect this 
email once a quarter.  If you have any suggestions or input, 
please email me directly.

Thanks!

PS: It is mere coincidence that this post is happening
on April 1st.  This is not related to an April fool's joke.
Just happens this is the first day of a new quarter. :)

This is the Honeypot maillist Quarterly Reminder.  The 
purpose of this post (sent every quarter) is to be a 
friendly reminder on the issues and etiquete of this maillist.

- Purpose:
  The purpose of this list is to discuss honeypot technologies
  and anything honeypot related (such as risks, legal issues,
  deployment, deception, etc).  Material that appears as a blatant
  advertisement, or material not related to honeypots, will be
  blocked.

- Format:
  Please post in ASCII format only, no HTML, XML, or anything
  else ending in ML :)

- Attachments:
  Please do not send attachments.  Instead, post a URL so folks
  can access your file(s) online.  Not only does this save 
  bandwidth, but other folks not on our maillist can then access 
  your file(s) and learn about what you are up to.

- Honeypot Questions:
  If you have questions about honeypots, or are new to the
  technology, we recommend you first read the Honeypot FAQ.

- Editing/Trimming:
  When you reply to a posting, please trim your reply so only
  pertinent material applies.  Also, include your response near
  the top of the posting.  We do not want to have threads that
  have replies responding to repliese responding to replies, and
  then your reply is located at the bottom of a loooooong email.

- Maillist Maintenance FAQ

- How do I unsubscribe:
  Send an e-mail message to honeypots-unsubscribe () securityfocus com 
  from the subscribed address. The contents of the subject or 
  message body do not matter. You will receive a confirmation 
  request message to which you will have to answer. 

As always, if you have any suggestion on how to improve the maillist,
email me directly.

Thanks!
