[HECnet] Telnet/SSH attacks

Hello! Last month I was getting spammed by an idiot who refused to honor the removal requests sent back from his own clients. I contacted the services that were foolish enough to allow him to operate. Further along one chap did in fact realize that I was indeed right regarding that bozo, he then did the magic needed to close that account. Eventually it stopped. Now regarding VersaWeb, here's an idea, each time that idiot spams you, explain to them that they owe you a fixed amount of currency, US of course. Do they have an abuse@ e-mail address? Send that note to them there that the bozo is indeed spamming you, and further the more he continues to do it, the more they will owe you a fixed amount over 50 dollars US. Regarding for example those annoying people over in a country that has other problems........ Never mind. Let's move this back on topic. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Interesting problem that one, Sampsa as applied to the Asterisk PBX. Now the important question, who is or was hosting them? I might know of them? It's hosted in a colo facility operated by NETRIPLEX LLC - I actually sent them the message as an act of goodwill, the PBX operator probably DOESN'T want to be compromised like this :) Now if only VersaWeb would shitcan this spammer that keeps spamming me...I wish companies were more like the one you contacted that cared. A compromised NAS, interesting. It might have been deliberately spun up that way..... That was in China - I don't even bother contacting their abuse points, useless... I got annoyed with those not working so I contemplated contacting ARIN or the CEO directly. The CEO never emailed me back. And I agree with you regarding the drivers license and the server issues. It is getting ludicrous. Soon we'll all be behind NAT "for our own safety". Ugh. Yup... -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects
