I have been running a "honeypot" for over a year and have captured
some nasty worms for myself to inspect. To access my fake "C" drive
with NetBIOS over TCP/IP, simply go to my dynamic IP web server at
http://zimmermantech.inetcam.com and click on my IP address. Please
note that you must have "Client for Microsoft Networks" installed on
your system and be running Internet Explorer (otherwise Netscape tries
to connect via FTP port 21 instead of TCP port 139).
