We on EFnet take drones very seriously and do a very good job of
cleaning them. I'd say we are probably one of the larger cleanest irc
networks. 99% of ddos come from hacked drones running on C&C servers
that are not large networks. They run their on ircd or use a tiny
network where they will be unnoticed. I also run 2 undernet servers
that have a much higher drone count. I don't see my servers over there
hijacked.

Now if i could find the legality of it, i would.
