We were recently approached by a company that does security consulting. Some of the functions they perform include discovery scans, penetration testing, bulk e-mail generation (phishing, malware, etc.), hosting fake botnets - basically, they'd be generating a lot of bad network traffic. Targeted at specific clients/customers, but still bad. As an ISP, this is new territory for us and there are some concerns about potential impact, abuse reports, reputation, authorization to perform such tests, etc.

Does anyone have experience in this area that would be willing to offer advice?
