What the .gov is thinking of doing now is meant for extremely large networks like EfNet. I don't think Steve van singlehandedly monitor the whole of EfNet. I agree that SG couldn't possibly monitor the whole of efnet, but he *did* have some automatic analysis going on: (from grc.com) They

Does the fixed-length nature of RISC instructions make detecting a shellcode on a platform such as PPC via IDS easier ? Or does the larger availability of pseudo-NOP instructions on these platforms (owing chiefly to more combinations of registers being available) in fact make it harder ? I
