Penetration Testing: RE: A kind of Honeypot

["Andrew van der Stock" <ajv () e-secure com au>]

Pr0n sites do it all the time. Don't browse them with JavaScript turned on.

However, realistically, honeypots and similar ilk are man-traps. I feel
you'd get more information from running a useful web site, and looking your
web logs.

Hi all,

I plan to make a website just for my pen-tests.

This website grabs as much as possible info from the visitors (IP,
browser, proxy, etc ..), tries to exploit some common vulns of browsers
(Guninski's page is a good start for this) and hosts a passive
fingerprinting app.
The victims are "spammed" with some misc. content (p0rn, free CD/DVD,
jokes) linking (or redirecting) to the site.

Has anybody ever do that ?
