Description

Unwanted HTTP bots can be trapped with the prebuilt version of a defensive tarpit service.

It is useful when administrators want HellPot behavior without compiling it locally. Public deployment should be planned carefully because the service consumes network and system resources by design, records activity, and may affect how scanners or proxies interact with the site.
