Subject: Re: @home: Is *anyone* really home there??? What does an ISP *want* to have reported? I agree that complaints that "so-and-so just banged on my Quake port all afternoon" should be unwelcome. However some activities tend to be more troublesome and I wonder what the threshold of pain has to be for an ISP? In general, not a specific policy:
I don't want to see any reports that simply mention an errant packet or two, regardless of what the packet destination port was. I do want to see reports of systematic and repeated attacks where a variety of types of attacks are in use, provided of course there's adequate documentation to demonstrate the persistence and variance of such annoyances. I obviously want to hear about successful penetrations too. -- Greg A.
