Also, (for those who are on the SANS mailing list - you've already seen
this) http://www.dshield.org is a new effort to try to take action against
crackers. If you sign up for their mailing list you can submit your
ipchains log (they also accept other log types as well). They keep a list
of offending ip addresses. They forward these logs (with your permission)
to the ISP of the offending ip address and try to get them to take action
with it.
So, next time you see strange activity coming from a certain ip address you
can look it up in their database to see how active they are.
Anyway, it's a useful website.
