abuse reporting tools

Some folks might disagree with this, but if it's an important service that
I have running on a network, I will block a series of garbage AS's (closer
to /8 the better) at the firewall (not at the edge) and that reduces the
headaches by 50%. This isn't practical at the edge, but for system
administration is the only way I have found to minimize the problem. A lot
of times the owners of these IPs don't really care and won't take action.
For example, the amount of garbage that comes out of FDC Servers in Chicago
at times and not much is done.
