1) Knowing that there's traffic to the RBN is different from knowing that
there's traffic to a compromised machine (ankle biters vs organized crime).
2) Yes, the compromised list is too long (at least for me).
3) Pragmatically, while I am interested in all communications with
compromised systems, I am more interested in communications with the RBN.
Ps. the RBN aren't "compromised" systems in the usual sense. They are
*intentionally* configured with malicious intent.

This netblock is quite huge. Is there some usable smaller range in
there? I get lots of hits on
67.18.199.130 sm46.avast.com (Antivirus firm)
67.19.167.98 a3.creativecommons.org
so I need to drop that network from the list.
Any pointers how theplanet.com is related to RBN?
Regards,
Markus

Re: RBN CIDRs - RussianBusinessNetworkIPs.txt
All very good points. And yes, a better name for the compromised list
might be the hostile list. But thats just semantics.
I'm leaning toward then making a separate RBN only ruleset. I hate to
make more and more sets, but this seems worth it.
Anyone have other suggestions, or comments for/against before I go ahead
and do so?
