ISPs hold the relevent data to contact the users. This needs a feedback loop, in that ISPs need to know which traffic leaving their networks is misbehaviour somewhere else. Between firewall logs, IDS logs, netflow headers, apache logs, whatever. It's all there. It just needs to be used. - billn On Mon, 20 Feb 2006, Edward W.

ISPs should not police users, just like auto manufacturers should not police drivers. That is what driver's licenses are for. IMHO, a user should have to demonstrate a minimum amount of expertise and have a up-to-date AV, anti-spyware and firewall solution for their PCs. Drivers are required to have licenses, registration and insurance in order to drive said vehicle, why not something similar for PCs. You would have to get the whole world to agree on that one, so it may be difficult to implement. But the US,EU, Japan, Australia should take the lead and implement something like this. Ed Ray
