And what IPs precisely are you planning to deny? So far its all idle threats, we have no idea where they plan to launch their scans or hacking attempts from, or even if they have any clue how to hack anything. I highly doubt they'll be attaching riaa.com to it either.
If you read the URL originally referenced, they intend to blackhole riaa.com itself, and then run a honeynet gnutella network. Anything that pokes their Gnutella and then does anything else on their net that looks suspicious will get blackholed. Just imagine it - lots and lots of ISPs running honeynet Gnutellas, and if you poke around in it you get blackholed. That would make the RIAA's day. ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
