The fact that people use some of the ridiculous RBLs out there indicates that there are still quite a few boneheads out there, and I'd be willing to bet that they outnumber the clued ones. You'd be suprised at how many times I've come into a consulting situation and had to explain to executives that their problems came from some admin using blacklists with high casualty rates and irresponsible practices (SPEWS/etc). But hey, it gives me lots of consulting opportunity, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Every time someone gets fired/reprimanded for using SPEWS or some other kind of list, I'm sure one more person springs up to fill their place. > I suspect that BGP admins are by their nature even better educated and > will likely do even more research prior to using anything. Don't be so sure of that either; I regularly find poorly configured routers redistributing default, loads of /24s and even /30's into their neighbors.
