As far as reporting is concerned, we do have a number of ways you can
query our DShield data. First of all, by prefix (right now only /8, /16,
/24). But we do send out daily custom reports per request. Just send me
an e-mail.

There is also a test version of a report by ASN:
http://www.dshield.org/asreport.php
its experimental and feedback is welcome. It is setup to be machine
parsable.
