Hi,

Sounds interesting. But:

Who are these guys??
What do I gain using their software?? Do I have access to a zombies
database so I can block thos IPs??
As their agent is closed source, binary only and runs in promiscuous
mode: How I can be sure that I'm not installing an disguised packet
sniffer??
Finally: How do they finance their operation?? Will they charge you??
For which service?? Will they charge the ISPs for alerting them?? 

Too many questions without answers. I won't install this stuff on any
of my servers....

BTW, I don't see the point of this system. I don't think any big ISP
will call their customers to tell them their machine is a zombie....
Maybe a small one, but not the big ones....
