It could just be a broad witch hunt.I know of a decent sized global ISP that ran (runs?) a large darknet that was the equivalent of a few /16's routed to a fbsd host running 'tcpdump' (a tad more complex, but essentially this). BayTSP (one of the 'make legal threats for the mpaa/riaa' firms) sent ~2k notes to the ISP about downloaders on these ips. Looking at netflow data (sample 1:1 on that interface) they had portscanned (from ip space registered in their name) each address in the range and sent subpoena-material to all ips that they thought they got a response from. At least baytsp got theirs? (money I mean)
Do you have any links to evidence of this? I would love to just be able to automatically throw BayTSP mails in the garbage, but I can't just blindly do it if there is any chance of them being legitimate. William
