You obviously have a much shorter Internet memory than some of the engineers on here that have had a long history of killing off and blacklisting various spam and malware operations over the years. I think the one thing that has changed is that the service providers are now large corporate entities that do not take going to war with each other as lightly as we did back in the day.

There is a lot of keyboardposturing: "I am mad and I am not going to take it anymore" hooplah but no one is lifting a finger to do anythingother than regurgitate "I am mad... This is criminal." Government in the US is not going to get involved as the financial cost won't warrant an investigation. Would you spend $100 to tow a car worth $1. Cloudflare, Amazon, Rackspace, and countless others are, and have been allowing thesame thing since the dawn of their creation and network operators... Shame on you for allowing it.It is legal? Is it moral? Does it serve a real world benefit? (booters). Let's get real these booters serve little purpose. Anyone can go back to romper room and do the simple math: I have a 100mb pipe, if someone sends me 200mbwill it flood me? A pre-schooler can give anyone the answer. Yet here is everyone chiming in on legal matters whennot one respondent that I have seen is a lawyer. I wrote about this in my rambling which is linked in the NANOG LinkedIn group: "Why Do Networking Providers Like Cybercriminals So Much" and the responses I have read on this thread, make me believe it more so. Networking operatorscould give a rats ass about doing anything about DDoS, viruses. etc., since it is a source of revenue down the daisychain. Like it or not. I would be surprised if ANYONE in this NOG, or any other "NOG" de-peered out of principle.With that said, I don't even know why this thread is being continued.-- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
