yeah .. sorry for stooping to that. i didn't really mean it heh

that's not the case. you can watch them if you want:

https://github.com/lanjelot/twisted-honeypots

they have an incentive not to be a denial of service because they're trying to find poorly configured *nix machines with weak username/password combos. also why most of them will only make one connection at a time. if they manage to log in with a weak password from the list they come back to use the machine they've gained access to. they really don't want to be banned nor put the target machine offline.

but, just as an example, normally that wouldn't be a problem with mystic but any unknown username and a password they attempt that happens to contain a 'y' will allow them a LOT of time to run through a few hundred username/password combos in the new user "full name" field (which won't hangup on you no matter how many times you don't include a last name. including just holding enter forever)

 Ac> Lastly, no clue as to where (or why) 'respect'

this was regarding respect for g00r00, not really sure why your post was concerned with his feelings treating him with kid gloves or something. i think it's a bug.. it's not like i said "i think mystic is a steaming pile because it might have a bug"

anyways sorry for the overreaction :/
