The hard part is not the technology, it's the customer(s) 
They want their box back operational ASAP, yet complain
when you tell them the must use SSH (putty.exe rocks!)
and such. I have gotten less than no help when I find
the persons box they hacked to get to the box I found.

The key to an anti-hacker ISP association would be
a very special ip address / contact person lookup database. 
ie: who/how to contact for the 'SWAT' response for a particular IP
address.
