   Possible to keep a network clean?

   When I do an iftop, i see le100.net is constantly trying to connect. Of   
   course, it's only ~40B of data every time but it hasn't ceased for   
   months and I suppose it's the same for everybody as my ISP.   
      
   I don't believe anybody needs services from le100.net. They're probably   
   crackers looking for open ports. Worldwide! And that's certainly because   
   many users have open ports.   
      
   Some connections also come from Amazon. EC2 accounts, I suppose. Why   
   don't ISPs stop them right at their door?
