What about a log of all correspondence between you and (supposedly) responsible parties? Proof that providers are acting irresponsibly could have a larger impact. Personally, every email that I send to my provider is hand crafted. I occassionally even make references to previous emails. This tends to imply "I've told you about this before, and its happening again. Why?" > 2) A Bad Thing. These are innocent victims, and you will just have them be > attacked by evil people. As shown by all the replies to this message so far, it is pretty clear that publishing such a list has *potential* for negative impact. Are the risks involved with publishing such a list greater than getting an ISP to act responsibly, be a proper netizen, and in general, run a tight ship? I think not. > 3) Boring. Who cares? It's Nimda, and an everyday part of life. Deal with > it and ignore the logs. To contradict myself, what if these machines stay online and remain vulnerable? It is only a matter of time before they become merely an annoyance in your web logs. If acting responsibly and reporting abuse to providers isn't working (and it sure as hell hasn't worked for me), a more aggressive course of action is needed. I know what my choice is. for what its worth, -jon
