I work for a medium sized ISP, we have about 500 peers over exchanges like LONAP and Linx. You'd be surprised how many of our peers won't use MD5 passwords or even filter properly.

They propagate a few prefixes toward you, right?

So you have to filter what you accept from them, no?

What mechanisms do you have for this?

If it's a lookup, why it's not feasible for higher Tier ISPs?

Bad idea. These are customers he's talking about. If you want to stay in business, naming and shaming your customers isn't a good strategy.

Probably he's still working at there, so he'd be forbidden to disclose customers name.

BGP peerings are publically published, that's how they work.

Knowing which customers fail to secure their comms is another matter.

Sorry, no, I don’t really see how that contributes to the discussion.
