Re: Publishing Nimda Logs

What I did with my Nimda/Code Red logs and an unresponsive ISP was write
up a script that copied the logs into a directory that is accessable from
my web site then have an email generated and sent to the abuse@ contact
at the ISP.  At one point they were getting 20+ emails a day from me and
finally asked me to stop.  I told them that I refuse to stop until they
dealt with their customers.  This worked.

The other amsuing/assholic thing I did was link the logs in txt format to
www.mywebsite/stupidpeople/dummyoftheday.txt and let whomever wanted surf
to my web site and see the logs....

  It is truly sad that so many people are still infected with Nimda. There
  is a company with my corporate ISP that I have notified 3 times now that
  they are attacking other systems. It seems they can't figure out how not
  to install Win2k/IIS5.0 while connected to the net. The sad thing is that
  this is a computer company.

  I have seen a site where people have published the IP of the offending
  boxes for stuff like Nimda and CR. I am thinking about doing the same
  thing so that people can either use that information to block the IP's or
  to do whatever they want for that matter.

  I'm curious to see how other feel about this. Is it:

  1) Recommended. Go for it and publish the IP's and let the "Gods of IP"
  sort out the damage.
  2) A Bad Thing. These are innocent victims, and you will just have them be
  attacked by evil people.
  3) Boring. Who cares? It's Nimda, and an everyday part of life. Deal with
  it and ignore the logs.

  If "1," then I was thinking of going with a "Hall of Shame" and providing
  ARIN look ups, contacts, and the whole bit. I could even allow other
  people to post logs there and stuff like that...

  Input appreciated.
