We now have 114,163 unsavory domains blackened. Russian and Ukrainian cyber criminals are in our sights, and should give it up. This latest update includes the Alantron pill pushing domains which attempted to DDOS Brian Krebs on 9-23-2010.

You can get the (free) DNS Blackhole for Smoothwall files at: http://doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/HoneywallSamples

If you use the Bind or Mara DNS servers, the best DNS Black Hole resource is David Glosser's Malware Domains.
