Replying to [comment:121 lunar]:
> Could you run similar comparisons with Internet access providers using
Carrier-grade NAT? Could you tell use what qualifies as abuse?
Abuse: comment spamming, harvesting email addresses, attacking web
applications (e.g. SQL injection), HTTP DoS (exploiting slow web
servers/applications to knock them offline). I'm not interested in L3/L4
DoS and Tor as that's non-existent (unless then exit node is separately
part of a botnet).
> Tor is just being slightly ahead of what the IPv4 Internet is going to
look like pretty soon.
I agree with the sentiment. As I said in an earlier comment I've kicked
off an internal project to get us off the use of CAPTCHA for the types of
abuse seen above. Related news article with comments from my boss (the
CEO):
