IP Blacklists

A quite honest approach about IP blacklisting:

"The notion of blacklisting communication sources has been a well-established defensive measure since the origins of the Internet community. In particular, the practice of compiling and sharing lists of the worst offenders of unwanted traffic is a blacklisting strategy that has remained virtually unquestioned over many years."
