Distributed Computing for Tracking Net Problems?

Posted by Cliff on from the how-effective-would-it-be dept.

Osrin asks: "A software firewall package that came with a recent computer purchase is using a site called MyNetWatchman to track, catalog and escalate firewall incidents back to ISPs. I was wondering what Slashdot readers think of this type of solution and which other Internet problems it would lend itself to helping resolve?"

    volunteer-run by folks with a vested interest in securing their servers? Open source software? Multi-platform? It rocks.

    Closed source? Put out by a company? Windows-only? Gives me the creeps.. stay away.
