Captive Portal Detection, (Tue, Jul 21st)

Not everything our honeypots detect is an attack. Sometimes it is just "odd traffic", and this is one example: Our "First Seen" list currently includes "http://detectportal.firefox.co

m/success.txt" as one of the new URLs detected by our honeypots. The hostname "detectportal" kind of gives away what is happening here.
