Wouldn't legitimate users as well find themselves in that honeypot, and thus be blocked, achieving what the RIAA wanted in the first place, to disrupt GNUtella services?
I believe the original honeypot was to be triggered if they caught somebody poking around the Gnutella and then dropping suspicious packets on their network. "Legitimate users" wouldn't find themselves in that situation because they'd only contact the Gnutella side of things and wouldn't be probing the Gnutella host via other means.... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
