I've had an ongoing debate with a hosting service over a fresh exit node
being abused for network scans (ports 80 and 443) almost hourly for the
last few days. I can understand that they are pissed off, and the whole
thing resulted in this particular exit being shut down by the hoster. If
I could detect and prevent these scans, it would go a long way to avoid
having my exit nodes shut down by hosting services.
