The majority of *crap* hitting my firewall (in Oz) comes from China. Use geoip && iptables to block China for a more peaceful life. Its not as though there's any valuable sites there unless you have relatives or a reason to access something there! Taiwan and Hong Kong have also been suggested as sources, but so far they are not even close to the biggie. As a side effect, as well as messenger spam, it blocks large numbers of other malicious scans/probes/*crap* - enough do this and it might convince the relevant authorities to clean up their own backyard ...
