Re: GWF's, useless logs, and abuse desks.
I gave up trying to inform ISP etc about attacks etc as it takes far more time then its worth (find out who the proper contact was, collect and assemble evidence etc). I also bothered me as to how little was done sometimes I would see the same attack from the same IP for months and even after numerous notifications to the ISP. I don't think my notifications classed me as a GWF as attached samples of my notifications will hopefully prove (what else could they possibly want?). I do agree that systems like myNetWatchman, DShield and DeepSight are great ideas for most people.
I would find it rather humorous how many abuse folks had never heard of or didn't know what UTC was (see »greenwichmeantime.com/info/utc.htm ). I wonder how many would know what Zulu time was, as that would be a bit of a give away to possible past career  .
Lately I've been using messages sent directly to the infected system ( see »Would this be considered spam? for more about this), which has worked rather well.
