Blocking Traffic by Country on Production Networks

Blocking Traffic by Country on Production Networks
Timothy M. Mullen

When I originally posted to Bugtraq regarding the use of country-by-country sets to control traffic to or from any particular country, I knew that it was not a new idea. However, applying the concept for use with Microsoft's ISA Server was at least a new application for it, and apparently has had some utility for people based on the thousands of downloads that have been made of the free sets from the Hammer of God Web site.

I blocked China (actually most of SE Asia) and my malicious traffic was dramatically slashed (down 80%+). I have no regrets and make no apologies since my business is domestic in the USA only and I provide no content that would be of use or interest to anyone outside of the USA.

Need to email me but your server is in Asia? Too bad... get a new provider.
