Pakistan Honeynet Project by Tushar Abraham Mathew — last modified 2006-09-14 06:03 PM

Our goal is to learn and raise awareness about the motives and tactics of the Black Hat community targeting Pakistan's networks. We aim to share and dissipate knowledge about the various tools and hacker practices in use on the Internet today. In this way, we can serve the federal government, the private sector, state and local governments and higher education establishments countrywide. We welcome any individuals or organizations who are interested in becoming a part of this group's research and activities. We need to raise awareness of the threats and vulnerabilities that exist on Pakistan's networks today. This can be done by demonstrating real systems that are compromised in the wild by the Black Hat community. Since many people don't think it can happen to them, we have to change their minds.
