Im not talking about spammer networks im talking about script kiddie networks. We already have several systems for dealing with spammers but none for script kiddies. (I cant be the only person who sees a problem with this picture?)
The biggest problem is that it's a lot easier to verify that a given site is a spamhaus. Remember that source IP addresses (which is all that your border router sees) are forgeable - making for a nice DOS attack. Forge packets from a competitor's site, get them labelled as a skriptz kiddie site, and BGP-blackholed. -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
