Now this idea: I don't have an issue with.

For HoneyPot systems, obviously, you want to "Attract attention", you setup
attractive, known buggy user agent strings and the like for other services.
Then watch who attempts.

For Silent Lurker systems, you want an obscure response to thinks like the
HTTP User Agent string but if you use things like Opera, Firefox, or Apple's
Safari, You could select a false User-Agent string to send.
For other "Services" the Silent Lurker is going to respond to, you could be
more obscure: Like not send anything at all...

But then Again. I would tend to use the Silent Lurker method "If" I was
surfing for 'Pr0n' but instead I just use an expendable Windows 2000 system
running firefox *"With Delete everything when done"* setting turned on in a
PF'ed DMZ lan segment, logged in as administrator (with full rights) with a
machine name of IDONTCARE or something like that. When it goes Zoop, I ghost
a copy back over.

Yes it's an obscurity hack, but that doesn't make it a bad idea in general.

When I'm browsing from my work computer I'm very easy to trace anywhere
in logs because of the OpenBSD, KDE and Seamonkey combination.

From a security point of view it's plain stupid, but regarding privacy
the question isn't a bad idea.

This is an obscurity hack and an all round bad idea.

If you REALLY must do this (dunno why) enjoy hacking the code of anything
you find on you're box that can be used as a network client.
Have fun :D

How to HIDE "OpenBSD" as user-agent?

For security reasons it is sometimes interesting to hide GLOBALLLY th
O.S. you are running on AGAINST GIVING ANY CLUE TO HACKERS ABOUT HOW TO
ATTACK YOU.

Not only browsing but globally.

Thanks for any tip about this.

Hi,

In order to be able to sent Deanna a dmesg with AZALIA_DEBUG
enabled I have to recompile the kernel. But I could not boot the
kernel since I got a complaint about missing syscall.

What's the difference between -current and -latestsnap? Will this
be syncronised soon so I can wait for it?
