Netscan.org hasn't created a BGP blackhole announcement out of lack of time and because, at least while some significant sites are on it, we doubt many people would use it. Interestingly, looking at the top smurf-announcing ASNs, an average American backbone could block easily half of them and barely notice.
I've been very quiet on the scanning for smurf amps thing... which is contrary to my nature :-) However, I would really not like to see a BGP based listing of smurf amps based on results from scanning. E-mailing network operators who have smurf amps that happen to not have been abused (maybe its a /30 with little bandwidth) smacks of UBE to me... and you shouldn't be listing without notification... -- John Payne http://www.sackheads.org/jpayne/ john@sackheads.org http://www.sackheads.org/uce/ Fax: +44 870 0547954 To send me mail, use the address in the From: header
