    NukedNabber has as well.  Luckily, the vast majority of attacks are from
    script kiddies, and if you're being attacked by someone competent then
    you're in trouble anyway.  It's certainly better than nothing, and is quite
    handy for reducing the amount of labor required before sending an abuse
    report to a domain admin.
