Default Firewalls and reporting

vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:
remove ns from my header address to reply via email

So what would you recommend as an effective method of reporting
spammers, scammers & skript kiddies poking at your system ports for
vulnerabilities, that the BOFH ;-) Sysop community will actually
listen to?


Bruce. Sorry. But .....a voice in the dark! Finally! If I missed a
post from you in my other "rantings" about this, then I apologise! I
had little other support.

I've been doing this from the user end for FAR too long (IBM 360
mark-sense card runs in Junior High, TI 99/4A, PC-XT...) and don't
want to spend too much time tracerouting the idiots and chasing down
foreign WHOIS sites, etc. - but if a neat little program can point me
to the moron's true origins, I'll gladly drop a dime on his ass so you
can terminate the account "with extreme prejudice". ;-)

The Internet is supposed to be self-policing. Give us the tools and
we'll help.
