Messing With Web Attackers With SpiderTrap (Cyber Deception)

A tutorial explains how to use SpiderTrap from the ADHD distribution to generate endless or wordlist-based link structures on a local web server (port 8000) that trap automated spiders/crawlers (e.g., wget), increasing attacker workload and potentially exhausting resources; it highlights use in deception/active defense and suggests exposing traps via robots.txt or sitemap.xml, while noting it’s not intended for enterprise production environments.
