netscan.org - broadcast ICMP list

http://netscan.org has the first (relatively) complete database of ICMP
directed broadcast networks ("smurf amplifiers").  All allocated IP addresses
ending in .0 or .255 have been pinged and measured, so it's complete short of
pinging the whole 'Net.

It's queryable by IP address/subnet/broadcast (same output) and a list of the
worst 1024 networks, rescanned this morning, is available.

We're hoping netscan.org will get enough publicity that admins will be
pressured - both by user comments and bandwidth limitations - to fix their
router configurations.

Cheers,

Troy Davis
