IP Address Blacklist Revisited

With the recent release of several known exploits in the phpBB2 forums software (the highlighting code exploit), as well as issues in PHP itself, I have seen a huge surge in the number of attempts at my site to gain unauthorized access; reaching nearly unique 550 IP addresses being blocked on 3 January 2005.
I'm sure that many other website administrators will notice the same trend. As such, I'm reminding everyone about the IP Address Blacklist available at NukedGallery.net (Downloads -> PHPNuke -> Misc Code).
This is a file which is updated nightly, currently containing nearly 17000 entries, with all the new addresses which have attempted to break into my servers, either via port 80, or other ports (see http://www.nukedgallery.net/modules.php?name=IPBan for a complete listing).
Registration is required, to prevent bandwidth leaching bots from pulling the files.
