I agree with you David.  The amount of times I have e-mailed abuse@ of a 
netblock letting them know that one of their boxes has been rooted and some 
little kiddie is doing brute force dictionary attacks against SSH for 
example (with logs).  Haven't got one reply yet!

Additionally, all those attempts you see in your apache log files, 9/10 
times they are worms.  But then again, there are some stupid kiddies who 
will try IIS exploits on a *unix box.

Blacklist all .br/.kr/.jp/.cn IPs on your firewall already is what I say.

You would not sue anyone. Thats just saying that you would sue anyone under 
the sun trying to ping or go after some bot trying to scan your Apache box 
for IIS 5 vulnerabilities. My point is, even if you did realize someone was 
actively scanning your host, there would be nothing you could do, I think it 
would be too time consuming. Yet your question still stands. Is it legal or 
illegal?
