Blackholing APNIC Routes (or a subset of)

  • From: Eric Germann

Anyone want to admit privately (I'll summarize to the list) if they actively
filter certain partitions of APNIC space?

We did a little experiment the past couple of days and saw at 85% of our
port 13[5-9] scans, Code Red/Nimda/formmail attempts, etc. go out the door
by blackholing those networks in .cn and .kr.

Thoughts?  Is it a valid thesis?  I've seen the discussions for spam
mitigation, etc via DNS, but this is actually null routing all their
traffic.
