SpiderTrap as an active response

SpiderTrap was created by the Pauldotcom crew to mess with attackers. The original version servers up four random links regardless of the URL requested. This can cause web crawlers and scanners to get stuck in an endless loop and possibly crash. WebLabyrinth is a PHP version of SpiderTrap with a few additional features. It reads in text from a file and makes random words in the text links to random URL’s. Also, WebLabyrinth will randomly return HTTP errors to possibly confuse the scanner. Although the PHP version would work I wanted to run a python web server on the loopback to combine SpiderTrap and OSSEC.
