Originally From: Troy Davis <troyat_private> Originally To: BUGTRAQat_private http://netscan.org has the first (relatively) complete database of ICMP directed broadcast networks ("smurf amplifiers"). All allocated IP addresses ending in .0 or .255 have been pinged and measured, so it's complete short of pinging the whole 'Net. It's queryable by IP address/subnet/broadcast (same output) and a list of the worst 1024 networks, rescanned this morning, is available. We're hoping netscan.org will get enough publicity that admins will be pressured - both by user comments and bandwidth limitations - to fix their router configurations. =-= Reply From: Adam Herscher <herscherat_private> The people over at Smurf Amplifier Registry (http://www.powertech.no/smurf/) have had such a project going for a pretty long time: -- 32508 networks have been probed with the SAR 15969 of them are currently broken 7208 have been fixed after being listed here -- -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".
