I've created a yahoo group for this type of purpose.

It can be found here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dos_reports

The goal of this group is to provide a medium for sharing
information about DoS attacks. This includes current attacks
on your network, a phonebook with ISP contact information,
reporting ISP cooperation levels, etc.

The quality of this tool is dependent upon the quality of=20
the members. Please bear this in mind when posting. Please=20
do not send single line remarks about someone else's comments,=20
or generally be unhelpful. I've seen too much of that on this list.=20
This tool is not to replace the function of the NANOG list,=20
but to provide organized data that can easily be parsed and used.

We all know that many large ISPs are uncooperative when dealing=20
with DDoS attacks and responding to complaints. Well, a public forum=20
with peer review might help this situation.

If you want things to change you have to take action. Please=20
participate in this first small action toward a solution.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome. If you have some=20
documentation to add, or anything send it my way.=20


Thanks,
Jon
