-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If its really getting out of hand, I would just traceroute the customer and try to contact security departments starting at the isp and working your way back, notifying each link in the chain that their networks are being bogged down by these idoits as you go. Often times, you will find at least 3 or 4 people who get mortally offened at this and also chasing down the ISP who is failing to read their abuse emails, And they also start looking for other contacts, in short, you can use this method to draw more attention to the issue, wich is often neccesary to get ISP's like comcast and AOL to actually take action sometimes.
Rember, traceroute and nessus are your friends Traceroute finds them, nessus gives you leverage :) On August 28, 2003 12:28 pm, Richard M.
