Yeh, bcp38 is not a viable solution.

As long as their is one spoof capable network on the net, the problem will
not be solved. While bcp38 is a true bcp, it is not a solution. It will
not, and has not, moved the needle.

A solution is aggregating the telemetry of source IP addresses in the
botnet and assigning blame and liability to the owners of the IP addresses
/ host ASN.

The networks can then use AUP to shutdown the bot members.

As where http://openntpproject.org/ was a proactive approach, Kreb's data
can be reactive approach. And since the data is evidence of a crime, the
network operators can enforce the AUP. The attack did happen. This ip was
involved. Remediation is required.
