... And realize that reports like this are routinely ignored. You
mark yourself as little more than a "GWF" (Goober With a Firewall).
Many feel justified in completely ignoring abuse like this. After
all, what did they do? From their point of view, little more than
ping you. They won't bother doing anything about it if the kiddie
didn't actually get in.
I agree with you it would be nice to shut these twirps down, but I
doubt your script will have much affect on the overworked ISP net
abuse people.
