And then what? The labor to clean up this mess is not free. Who's responsibility is it? The grandma who got a webcam for Christmas to watch the squirrels? The ISP?... No... The vendor? What if the vendor had released a patch to fix the issue months back, and grandma hadn't installed it? Making grandma and auntie Em responsible for the IT things in their house is likely not going to go well. Making the vendor responsible might work for the reputable ones to a point, but won't work for the fly by night shops that will sell the same products under different company names and model names until they get sued or "one starred" into oblivion. Then they just change names and start all over. The ISPs won't do it because of the cost to fix... The labor and potential loss of customers. So once identified, how do you suggest this gets fixed?

This doesn't require a ISP to attempt to break into a customers machine to identify them. It may take several runs to identify most of the connections associated with a DoS provider. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka@isc.org
