Jean,
That is fine. I don't understand why the ignorance. Its one flipping email
and people can reply to me without adding the list. Is this really a
necessary conversation? It has only blown up BECAUSE of Tom's comments.
That is great he is a big shot and contributes, that is great to hear.
I am not expereicncing the same type of onlist behavior.

Listen, I have devices on a cell network with only a few layers of security
(of course there is a plan to increase the security on those devices but
this is a complicated and highly regulated environment).
Someone contacted me off list telling me they beleive the IP is a command
and control server.
Cell networks like Verizon has a process to report these IPs, now I am not
educated in how the cellular network deal with that, that is where my
"ignorance" if you would like to call it that, comes in.
I see no issue asking other network admins to report it and fail to
understand why this particular issue is bad.
If there is a FEAR that everyone and their grandmother starts asking the
onlist community to report IP addresses, I think that is an an unnecessary
fear.

What has turned into "noise" that Tom feared so much has been his doing not
mine.

Joe, you are only penalizing yourself by banning him. I would personally
not ban him.

So what? I’ve scanned the internet more than 100’ times on all
ports/protocols than you can imagine with zmap and many other shabby tools.



I agree with Tom that these absue reports are totally useless and create
so much noise that it feels like crying wolf.

Network operator are trained to absorb and protect against that.

Unless that you are a real threat to a nation… good luck.



There is a new submarine link that connect America with Europe. It is said
to be 250 Tbps.

Kill this link and I guess the industry will listen to you.



Good luck with your ip in China.

Tom,

Others are seeing it as I provided the website that shows others are
seeing it.

I think it is pretty poor form to be ignorant.



Congrats you have been banned from my gmail account straight to the
deleted.

something they are not seeing themselves, and may not even be abuse. What
does "hitting devices" mean? Pings? SNMP?



This sort of thing contributes to abuse reponses being poor; lots of
noise, not much signal.

This IP is hitting devices on cellular networks for the past day or so.

I think this is the info to report it to the ISP.  Any help or if everyone
can report it, I would be a happy camper.
