Interesting new security tool. Its basicly a firewall.. As it detects attacks, it can do the usual stuff, like block or redirect traffic, but it can also do a number of "counter-hacks" such as letting the attacker get to fake "bait" data that contains code that will stamp itself all over the attacker's computer. At the top of the scale, it sends code to "disable the attack"
