Sandia seems to have some form of kernel, but only Federal-associated entities can get access to it. It would be interesting to see if they would license that out further for some amount of money.

You can block the specific offending IPs without collateral damage. CGNATs reuse IPs so any IP block rule fairly quickly becomes somebody else's IP that you shouldn't be blocking. If, however, you use IPv6, you don't need CGN

If we were all running IPv6, we could just block this crap. But here we are in 2025 still running IPv4 with CGNAT, so we can't.

by bsder 11mo ago
The reason we can't just block ranges is because CGNAT means that we wind up having to block entire providers instead of the individual with the compromised machine. IPv6 would solve this and we get the end-to-end nature of the interne

Sure? But RPi's are anemic and not cheap while refurb mini PC's are $400. So, there's quite a bit of pricing room.
