This line of questioning is utterly bizarre. These operations are well
known to use bad data from questionable sources. We blackholed a bunch
of them at the MX after hundreds of complaints about a netblock which
had been returned to the free pool years ago.
I think it is perfectly reasonable for Andy to trust his own judgement
on what his own systems might have been used for.

BT will use all those ports these days.

Hi Peter,
Just iptables on the host, it's just that this particular host has a
restrictive firewall on both input and output and given the ports
and IPs listed in the report it should not have been possible for
that activity to happen.
Of course, if it had been compromised then maybe the firewall got
altered and then put back again afterwards but this all gets a bit
far-fetched for the sake of downloading a movie by BitTorrent.
Like I say, I looked into it and couldn't find any indication that
it had actually happened, and the reporting company was completely
impossible to communicate with.
Cheers,
Andy

Love to know what firewall you're using that guarantees you can't get
any form of BT through it please?

However, one day they sent one that implicated one of our

confused I should ask my network admin about it.
So you're saying people who work at infrastructure companies - ISPs,
DCs
etc, they don't do torrents and the like, and they would not do so
with
on-premise equipment.
No, I'm saying that unlike customer services in this specific case I
had full access to it and was able to audit it to the best of my
ability and found no such activity. BitTorrent wouldn't even have
been able to get through its firewall.
Cheers,
