Honeypots are for losers anyhow

This is much like the idea of using the DMCA to "protect" exploits and rootkits. I'd like to see the hacker who is willing to announce to everyone that he was caught by a honeypot. Not only will his friends laugh at him, but so will work, family, school and society.

In recent knews HoneyNet Researches discover 14 year old hackers using the elite PHF vulnerability.
