How To Block Spammers/Hackers With mod_defensible On Apache2 (Debian Etch)
mod_defensible is an Apache 2.x module intended to block spammers/hackers/script kiddies using DNSBL servers. It will look at the client IP and check it in one or several DNSBL servers and return a 403 Forbidden page to the client. This guide shows how to install and use it with Apache 2 on a Debian Etch server. |

@rgviza: That doesn't work either. A majority of attacks are carried out through compromised Windows PCs, running in the countries you mentioned.

A simpler better solution is to only allow traffic from countries where law enforcement cares about computer crime (pretty much Western Europe, a few select Asian countries, Canada, and US)
Unblock countries when their law enforcement starts doing something and makes the news with crackdowns on "cybercriminals". Til that happens the bad will outweigh the good.
See, by the time someone makes a blacklist, the damage is done and they are on a new IP.
