Security Incidents: Re: Scans from proxyprotector.com

If someone does that much spoofing, constantly, then the target is going to
get bombarded anyways. Plus this wouldn't be totally automated, attempts to
contact the "hostile" party would be made, etc. No system is perfect, but
that doesn't mean it can't be used. This type of activity already occurs, a
new network block was opened up (67 or 69? I can't remember) and many
systems are firewalling it (used to be a reserved, unused class A), or
companies that get assigned network blocks formerly used in asia. This type
of thing happens all the time.
