Well their addresses are now known so one way would be for each ISP to drop traffic from them. If people don't fix them why should these devices stay on the net? If say Comcast has a million of them it might be tricky to scale but not impossible It'd take a bit of effort and care to aggregate and disseminate the data to each responsible AS, there'd be risk of bad guys getting the data and false positives/people spoofing to attack others. They'd also be building a tool that some might try to hijack for other purposes. None of that is an excuse to do nothing as is usually the result with any suggested measure that involves doing work to fix a problem I know ISPs generaly don't want the support calls but they'll end up with them and a legislative burden with commerial liability if they don't sort it out themselves. brandon
