Re: Login attacks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Isn't there a spammer database of dedicated spammer network 
addresses?  E.g. MAPS RBL. What's at hand is different: it isn't 
*mail* but *intrusion attempts* coming from an address that ought 
to get the address "RBL'd"

A mailinglist that put out the "list of intruders as of today" 
could easily keep our lists automagically updated.  Transferring 
the list contents to iptables is a (non)trivial script (non-trivial for 
iptables-newbie me).

cf: usenet Death Penalty in news.admin.net-abuse

Not a new concept, what is available?

Another that bears blocking completely is 64.0.0.0/24 as its 100%
spam of the non-edible variety.  Ditto for 66.0.0.0/24.

Anybody else have any more to contribute?
