Furanet.com: Research and Banning

There is not much for this, and it seems they like to be unknown. There is no web site for furanet.com. Let me try to tease their pattern.

93.93.68.0/24
COMVIVE SERVIDORES S.L.
Sevilla, Spain
email@comvive.es

My content scraper host name was 98-68.furanet.com. It looks like their pattern or strategy is a reverse order domain name with the first 2 octets missing. Looking at their IP range I would guess 93.93.64.0/21, which covers the 68 of 98-68.furanet.com. From my Google search I’ve added 91.192.108.0/22 which they also commonly use.

Ban these most commonly used IPs:
91.192.108.0/22
93.93.64.0/21

Wikipedia has a great definition of RSS:
