RFP anyone.. Botnet Mitigation for Networks surely collectively it would and CAN work.
A nice idea, but consider if a more automated tool/system was created to behead a botnet (50,000 null0 routes to blackhole all the nodes? Or accept collateral damage? etc). Now consider that jujutsu is designed around using the opponent's energy against him.
How can this possibly go wrong? :)
Damned if they do, Damned if they don't. It seems like every 4-6 weeks people alternate between ISPs are bad because they don't try to prevent X, Y or Z; and then 4-6 weeks later ISPs are bad because they tried to prevent A, B or C. It doesn't matter what A, B, C or X, Y, Z are; it must be the ISPs fault. Everyone agrees that ISPs are bad, they just disagree about what ISPs are supposed to do about whatever. And so it goes...
