This can proof the opposite.


Malware comes from redirected allocated blocks, not from bogons.

How do you know, if you're the one being attacked and you have no idea if the originating network or their immediate upstream implemented BCP38? Shall we just discard ingress filtering? If few attacks are using it today, should we declare it no longer relevant? At the same time we should ask if we should be x-raying shoes at the airport, since there's only been one guy who tried to blow up his shoes. The larger security question is, "do you stop looking for old threats simply because they're not the most common threats?" How many CodeRed packets flow over the Internet on a typical day? I assure you it's not zero.


Show me the data.

How many CodeRed packets originate from unallocated addresses?

Is the proposal actually effective at detecting or protecting against the threat? Or is it just a wasted effort for show?

Instead of dropping packets with unallocated sources addresses, perhaps backbones should shutdown interfaces they receive packets from unallocated address space. Would this be more effective at both stopping the sources of unallocated addresses; as well as sources that spoof other addresses because the best way to prevent your interface from being shutdown by backbone operators is to be certain you only transmit packets with your source addresses.
