A nice idea, but consider if a more automated tool/system was created to
behead a botnet (50,000 null0 routes to blackhole all the nodes? Or accept
collateral damage? etc).  Now consider that jujutsu is designed around using

How can this possibly go wrong? :)

Hint: Why do many sites refuse to accept automated BGP feeds from Cymru's
bogon list or RIR services?
