This information was obtained through the use of a honeynet. A honeynet is a network of various honeypots, designed to be compromised by the black-hat community. While some honeypots are used to divert the attention of attackers from legitimate systems, the purpose of a honeynet is to learn the tools and tactics of the black-hat community. Most of the information provided in this document has been sanitized. Specifically, user identities and passwords, credit card numbers, and most of the system names involved have all been changed. However, the actual technical tools and the chat sessions themselves have not been sanitized. All this information was forwarded to both CERT and the FBI before being released. Also, over 370 notifications were sent out to administrators of systems we believed were compromised.
