generated garbage addresses. I recall seeing quite sophisticated implementations of this, in which an "invisible" (for normal users) link on a webpage leads email harvesting robots into a maze of dynamically generated bogus pages full of thousands of useless email addresses.That would be a cool addition to our arsenal. Please research and report back. I would be very interested in implementing this. Thanks.
Unfortunately I cannot find this page anymore. I originally came across it more than half a year ago via a link from Shlashdot and I did not bookmark the URL. There are a lot of projects related to honeypots and tarpits (e.g. Project Honeypot, Honeynet, LaBrea) but most of them do something different, albeit also targeted at robots that harvest email addresses and scan networks.
