How about this:“Unsupervised Conversations With Complete Strangers: A Dangerous Proposition for Children”
or better yet:“Tips and Techniques for Responsible Parenting: Supervising Your Child’s On and Off-line Activities To Ensure Appropriate Behavior”
or even better:“The Off Button: The Ultimate Tool for Parental Control”
and finally:“Responsible Parenting: Getting To Know Your Children and Their Friends”
All much more appropriate topics of discussion, IMHO.
– thomas leavitt on politech regarding an upcoming federal hearing entitled “Chatting On-Line: A Dangerous Proposition for Children.”

- broke my honeynet hardcore when I tested out the new version of my setup script. spent all morning fixing stuff, but it works now. still having problems with tun/tap working automagically.
- tested out swatch and it works well. tried to be cheeky and portscan one of the honeypots. got 50+ emails in my box. better do something about that! uh oh. that was really dumb. did i take down the mailserver. actually, it looks like I just sent myself hundreds of emails which killed my mail client. stupid, stupid. swatch has a throttle directive that will help prevent this, but it seems kinda broken.
- doesn’t look like my firewall rules log the outgoing connections. figured out why, need to set the LAN_IFACE variable to tap1 instead of tap0.
- re-installed snort on harry. tried to run it. it output “Initializing Network Interface eth0” and then died a horrible death. The message on the screen on the tty said “Kernel panic: No physical or IO memory region for address 0x26400”. So, I need to either a) figure out why snort doesn’t work on the user-mode host, or b) figure out how to get snort to be able to see the local net traffic while running on the physical host (perhaps I can read the socket /tmp/uml.data created by uml_switch, or maybe I can use multicast networking instead of the uml_switch).
- modified my setup script so it provides a umid on the command line to user mose linux. that way i can do stuff with the hosts from the management console.
