Not So Bright

As it turns out, it is somewhat self defeating to deploy a honeypot, advertise it, and for no other reason than self amusement, hope to get attacked. My server got port scanned about 300 times last night, and than nobody else actually entered the trap after the first hour. Than there was a DDOS attack, which effectively shut the server down. Whether or not that is related is hard to say. I have concluded  this endeavor was a bad idea.
