I reported Grawp to Verizon earlier this week and got the following response, I'm circulating it here so that others reporting vandals to ISPs can follow their format. But more importantly can anyone tell me how to work out Destination IP address & Destination port(s)?

Your report contained no log file excerpt, or incomplete information, and therefore cannot be investigated.
In order to investigate your report, please submit a new report with a log file excerpt providing the specific details for the malicious traffic specific to a Verizon Online customer only.
Log file excerpts must be in plain text format, and include:
- Source IP address - Source port(s) - Destination IP address - Destination port(s) - Date - Specific time - Time zone (in which the log file time stamp isrecorded) - Brief synopsis
Additionally, please note that due to the number of reports we receive, reports with log files containing extraneous information not pertinent to the specific report cannot be accepted.
Verizon Internet Services Security can only take action in response to traffic initiated by Verizon Internet customers. Traffic from non-Verizon sources must be reported directly to the appropriate owner of the IP space that is initiating the traffic.
The following web site may be helpful in determining the owner of the originating IP space:
We hope this provides the necessary information in order to re-submit your report with the data needed, so that an investigation may be initiated.
Sincerely,
Verizon Online Abuse http://www2.verizon.net/policies http://www.verizon.net/security Abuse@verizon.net

MIME element (text/plain) Dear Verizon,
According to ARIN 71.167.96.32 is one of your IP addresses. If so were you aware of this edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Juliancolton&diff=prev&am...
One of a series of vandalisms on Wikipedia by that IP, and looking very similar to other vandalism on Wikipedia by various Verizon IP addresses.
I expect that as a socially responsible company you have policies to deal with such incidents; however if you do decide to continue supplying Internet services to that particular customer would it be possible for you to assign them a permanent IP address so we can indefinitely block that particular address from editing Wikipedia?
Yours Sincerely
Dahsun
