Hi, Hostile and uncooperative nations probably should be filtered as they could become a haven for hackers (and probably are) for whatever reasons - I think this does reduce the threat in a way. At a minimum it would be useful to identify these networks on an IDS system, IMHO. Going out on a limb here you could argue that countries where there could be no cooperation in pursuing computer criminals should be blocked. It would be far safer for a US based person to launch a US directed attack from a machine in a foreign country that is hostile to the US. There is another side to this I suppose in that the size and fragmentation of the networks may make such a list impossible to implement except possibly in an IDS system. ark () eltex ru wrote:

Poorly protected cable tv or *dsl users, ill-behaving ISP or something else like that are no less treat to Internet security. There is no reason to maintain a list of "hostile national networks" if an intruder can bypass any rules by hacking into US-based system and then go wherever he wants. "Bowden, Kevin" <bowden_kw () naptheon com> said :In our last NIPC Chapter meeting we asked for just such a list. We thought the FBI would be a good source for this information. It may be that the information will only be available to those who have cleared their screening process. That is of course assuming that the information is available and provided at all. Besides this, I have had no luck finding other sources for this data other than keeping an eye on the news and doing my own cyber-sleuthing.

I know it would not be perfect (because of provider allocation) but something that could be used as a baseline for screening evil and such. Any RTBL or ORBS type lists out there for general tcp/ip traffic?
