Researchers Create Highly Predictive Blacklists

Grablets writes "Using a link analysis algorithm similar to Google PageRank, researchers at the SANS Institute and SRI International have created a new Internet network defense service that rethinks the way network blacklists are formulated and distributed. The service, called Highly Predictive Blacklisting, exploits the relationships between networks that have been attacked by similar Internet sources as a means for predicting which attack sources are likely to attack which networks in the future. A free experimental version is currently available."

Re:Not really that "predictive".

So if this isn't predictive, what is?

Failure.

I like to play it safe and assume nothing works.
