+LaBrea is a program that creates a tarpit or, as some have called it,
+a "sticky honeypot". LaBrea takes over unused IP addresses on a
+network and creates "virtual machines" that answer to connection
+attempts. LaBrea answers those connection attempts in a way that
+causes the machine at the other end to get "stuck", sometimes for a
+very long time.
