It's similar to pirhanas or cockroaches - they can't be found everywhere, but
if you spot one in a location, there's a near certainty that there's plent more
in the area.

Or if you don't like that, you can run a simple Monte Carlo simulation.  Assume
256 customer slots, and that initially, there is a 3% chance that the next
customer to arrive is evil. Also add a feedback - each time you terminate an
evil customer in less than the average arrival time, the chance the next
customer is evil is cut by 10% of the current value.   Each time an evil
customer is allowed to last 3 times the average arrival time, the chance of an
evil customer goes up 10%.  Simulate for various termination times for
evil customers.

Are there any steady-state solutions where the *average* number of evil
users is one? Or does it decay down towards zero or upwards towards
a high number?
