You're complaining about a network of several hundred IP addresses that are, for the most part, documented as being the source of anonymized connections. Obviously, if you're worried about *that*, you've already solved the problem of identifying a connection as coming from one of the millions of machines that has backdoor software on it, and thus potentially a port forwarder(*). Please share your secret. The rest of us would love to have a net where Tor nodes are a "problem" big enough to worry about. (*) Yes, Tor intentionally anonymizes the true source *very* well. On the flip side, what are your *REAL* chances of tracking somebody through more than 2 or 3 hops across cablemodems, unless you manage to mobilize everybody by invoking one of the Four Horsemen of the Internet (copyright, terrorism, drug dealers, and child pornographers)?
