Not sure if this is technically possible or not, but why don't the "hole pluggers" who patch security holes in Microsoft OS's start writing software which lures, ID's, and traps the culprits who attack?
For instance, they (the attackers & virus writers etc) lure and tag the victims with a virus or spyware. Would it be possible to use the same approach from the OS pov? ie: write decoy routines designed to trick, tag, & track virus progs back to the source?
Maybe this is already done. ?
