Disclosed is a system and method for the sharing of intrusion-related
information. The sharing of intrusion-related information occurs via a
peering relationship between a first Internet Service Provider (ISP) and
a second ISP. A first node associated with a first ISP transmits
intrusion-related information to a second node associated with a second
ISP. The first node identifies intrusion-related information meeting a
first criteria. The first node then transmits the intrusion-related
information to the second node. The intrusion-related information
includes one or more of a list of attackers that previously probed the
first node, the protocol used, the time of the probes, and the individual
alarms raised.
