A similar question: let's say you stumble upon a DDoS net.  Say, a
friend leads you there, or you find a server that has 1000 random names
logged in.  Is it possible to report the server, even though you haven't
been infected, and if so, how?

Yes, it's like seeing a robbery but not being the victim, the
authorities are still interested in the crime.  The Internet Crime
Complaint Center is probably the best vector at this point (What was
the Internet Fraud Complaint Center until the great renaming.)

It lives at:

We'll see if they have the kind of success at other crimes that they
have had with auction fraud;  Without money involved some local
prosecutors may be a little more shy than they have been.
