Server Forced Down

Posted by John

Early this morning at about 1:30 am my server was brought to a crawl. I restarted it but it still was crawling around. After a lot of patience I was able to bring up the logs and I found out that an IP from Israel was slamming bloggingpro.com. I don’t know if it was a comment/trackback spamming attack or an attempted DOS attack but I finally got his IPs blocked.

82.80.252.164
82.80.252.172
82.80.252.177

There were a few others he was using so I blocked from 82.80.252 on.

Caught A Comment Spammer

Posted by John

This IP address was spamming my KZION blog all night and into the morning until I banned his/her IP address.

212.31.45.191

The IP belongs to an ISP in Barcelona, Spain.

I have SPAM controls in place so it was no big deal but these spammers suck up a lot of bandwidth.
