On the not so bright side, I'm getting a steady stream of port 135 SYNs from my fellow Comcast customers (i.e., presumably on my side of Comcast's filters), which may mean the horses have mostly already left the barn.
You'll see a lot of this. Establishing blocks in the local networks is more time consuming than it's worth. Blocks are usually only in place temporarily while other business practices are carried out; as any good neighbor tries not to harrass fellow networks. Once decontamination starts and users are fixed or suspended from service, blocks will usually be removed and the world goes back to normal. My own network has a two week deadline, although I'm gunning for being done this week. -Jack
