1 You know what would be seriously awesome, is if they have a type of RBL
2 listing for this kind of thing, and you could just link your iptables up to
3 the rbl listings.

5 (for those of you who don't know how rbl's work)

7 Example, I see this in my auth.log:

10 209.50.253.203<http://209.50.253.203>maps to
11 srv.warofthering.net <http://srv.warofthering.net>, but this does not map
12 back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEM

18 srv.warofthering.net <http://srv.warofthering.net>, but this does not map
19 back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEM

29 I could then submit the IP address to a RBL listing site, and then all
30 people who plugin to the rbl listing could update their firewalls with the
31 latest listing.
32
33 Just an idea, i dont know how hard it would be to do?
