Microsoft's Honeyclient Project
According to this Slashdot post, Microsoft has their own version of a honeyclient, which they call 'honeymonkeys'. I have to say, that's a cute moniker.
More importantly, though, this goes to show that it's becoming increasingly important to actively seek out the bad HTTP servers proactively. This will help to develop a better sense of situational awareness, which is where I think the future of information security is headed. I think folks are finally getting sick of constant reactive problem-solving, and this includes Microsoft.
