Nobody will tell me why we have to accept packets from .cn or why we need to have connectivity with them. My .htacess file is as large as the server will handle, and if I can deny so many of their IPs on my stupid little websites, then the Government can as well.

I was getting those, "Send us a sample product and we'll buy thousands" emails.

They get a reply, "Thank you for your large donation to Falun Gong".

I see my IP Adresses are now blocked by the PRC. Good.

We had a SANS class and the instructor made a good point. There are so many computers in the US and they are so insecure, that is is virtually impossible to tell a honey-pot from a legit machine. So honey-pots actually work in the US. The blackhats cannot resist them.

We have a group that identifies pwn3d machines on campus so we can shut them down. We don’t need them inside the wire.

Agreed. BUT. They can still work around that...when there was the major cyber attack from China on our power grid in California, they used attacks not only from China, but North Korea (Birds of a feather) and (?) The Netherlands. Obviously exploiting unsecured computers for bot-attacks.
