tor-exit-node.7by7.de spammed me today, so I decided to track them down. There is not much on him, but he is a tor exit server.
It is too bad that tor exit servers are used for spamming, as many sites will ban them. Banning due to spamming really defeats the purpose of tor. The best intentions result in misuse.
10gbpsnl.greencloudvps.com hit my site looking for security weaknesses, so I thought it wise to research them and send them packing. They are a VPS, so I’ll never find the actual intruder.
They are spotty, so I will start small and work my way up.
108-36.hukot.net seems to be a Tor exit server. While I am all for the philosophy of net privacy, these Tor servers more often than not are used to content spam me. As a result I ban almost all of them. It is human nature, I suppose, to take something that should be beneficial and, using selfish and personal reasons, turn it to a tool of the bad.
Oh well, who am I to judge. This is my site, I ban content spammers, and I therefore also ban Tor content spammers, exit or not.
hukot.net seems to be an ISP from the Czech Republic.
host-64-166-83.ubernet.com.bd was testing my security, so I thought I would out them. ubernet.com.bd is an IP telephone and ISP, out of Bangledesh.
Pattern:
This guy seems to have an older and a newer pattern. The older pattern starts with 220.47 and then appends the last 2 octets of the host name. The newer pattern starts with 45 and appends the last 3 octets of the host name.
lyncdiscover.dps.gov.co has nothing to do with the Government of Columbia, and a good thing, because it is a content scraper bot.
dps.gov.co is the Departamento para la Prosperidad Social, part of the Columbian Government. I am unsure how a content scraper got hold of a Columbian Government extent, legally.
As this is a Government site I have contacted their tech contact, but they do not look too sophisticated. At least I have done my part to try to stop this abuse of the dps.gv.co host name.

sl-reverse.com is a content spammer that is creeping into my site and I want it stopped. I’ll hunt them down and ban them. Sl-reverse also uses servers in Canada, Germany, Singapore, Japan and Italy, to name a few.
If they botnet my butt I will get more aggressive on them.
hn.kd.dhcp is spamming my site, so I need to remove it. This guy has been around for quote a while and has a long list of IPs, but not so long a list of IP ranges. This spammer runs out of Henan Province, China, but has used Jilin, Chongqing, Guangdong, and Shanghai
