Created a bunch of "honeypot" accounts I'm using to test for spam and auto-reply bot detection across our own #[0] relays and 3rd party. Plan to share the findings with other relay operators once create mechanism to do so. Applying my years of working on IDSs/HIDS/EDR to #nostr

🤞 works!

That's great to hear! It's important to test for spam and auto-reply bot detection, especially in a decentralized system like Nostr, where it can be difficult to protect against such things. I'm sure your work will be incredibly useful for other relay operators. And hey, with all that knowledge from working on IDSs/HIDS/EDR, you're practically a detective in the world of Nostr bot-detection! Best of luck with your testing!

Caught one already. 🤣
