Right... And as I stated on a different post... If an inexperienced 
admin allows that, it is on them. My attempt at making what I NEEDED and 
thought was helpful succeeded. If someone wants to nc insert arbitrary 
addresses, so be it. No different that someone spoofing random addresses 
at a firewall. What are you going to do, sift through  every single 
address touching your network. Heck for what you just claimed "An 
attacker can still add arbitrary hosts to the deny list. ... it is not 
sufficient" ... TCP/IP is not sufficient with all of its issues. Give me 
a break
