Honeypots get stickier for hackers (News.com)

News.com reports from the CanSecWest security show focusing on a talk from the Honeynet Project. "Because attackers generally encrypt their communications with a compromised server after successfully breaking in, the group has modified the operating system used with its system--currently Linux--to enable it to parrot the commands back to the administrator. Essentially a wiretap, the function lets administrators see any commands that are being seen by the operating system."
