Do we need te equivalent of a dog bite law for computers. If your computer attacks another computer, the owner is responsible. File a police report, and the ISP will give the results of the *57 trace to the local police. The police can then put down the rabid computer, permanently.Good in theory... in practice police has more important things to do. Like catching pot smokers.
HAHAHAHA :) Very funny. Seriously though, police can't remove access to the system for individuals simply because they didn't turn off whatever MS thing turns on port 445 by default... This gets back to the drivers' license for internet access/computer use. A nice idea, not practical and not enforcable :( And... not the solution to most of the problems. Keep in mind that a majority of the attacks are NOT against 'high profile' sites/customers... so many times a null route is a perfectly acceptable solutions.
