So they can find and isolate compromised hosts on their network.
Damn, you have one conscientious ISP!
Basically, they're looking for Windows hosts with viruses, trojans
and backdoors installed.
I think ISPs are getting a lot more observant and proactive lately.
It's about time.
I've got a script that watches my logs for port 22 dictionary attacks,
etc, adds the bad guy to hosts.deny, sets up a file that I email out to
the abuse contact for the domain. I get a real reply about 1 in 5
times, saying thanks for the help and they've nuked the account/ fixed
the host/whatever, and almost always an automated response indicating
they will deal with it but likely not email me further . Well except
for China and ex-Soviet-block countries, which are pretty much all
blacklisted by my hosts.deny by now anyway.
