Again so what is it you'are asking:
1. Function to list ip blocks for the same organization that often causes
abuse reports for your customers?
- see spews and spamhaus lists, for biggest abusers they do pretty good
job of tracking any ip blocks assigned to them
2. Function to list ip blocks announced by the same organization per ASN?
- you can already do it yourself - "sh ip bgp regexp _asn_")
And yes if somebody wants to abuse public database, they'll find a way to
get the data they want - but at least on the surface it should not be
easy. So even if one bad guy already has this data, I'm not interested in
making it easy for another bad guy to get it.
