Attacking Criminal Networks On the Internet
Hugh Pickens writes "Computer Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University are developing techniques to analyze and disrupt black markets on the internet, where criminals sell viruses, stolen data, and attack services estimated to total more than $37 million for the seven-month period they studied. To stem the flow of stolen credit cards and identity data, researchers have proposed two technical approaches to reducing the number of successful market transactions. One approach to disrupting the network is a slander attack where an attacker eliminates the verified status of a buyer or seller through false defamation. Another approach undercuts the cyber-crooks' network by creating a deceptive sales environment. 'Just like you need to verify that individuals are honest on E-bay, online criminals need to verify that they are dealing with "honest" criminals,' says Jason Franklin, one of the researchers."

Why not just implement violence support in ipv7? Who needs to undercut them, when you can uppercut (to the point of Toasty)?
how do I get in touch with one of these criminals to inquire about their services? Is there a secret handshake I'm supposed to give to the guy at the McDonald's drivethru, and he writes an ip addy on my happy meal?
What do you mean I'm already "subscribed"?
