RE: Publishing Nimda Logs

["Eli K. Breen" <eli () gopostal ca>]

I've been tracking nimda attacks and IPs with a tiny PERL script. Results
are at http://www.sectornotfound.com/files/NIMDA.stats (since Sept. 18th
2001)

  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.
