Firewall Enforcing

It all started last night. I was sitting at work waiting for the clock to run out. I decided to go to my international-based website (ivoice.axlebath.net) Merita runs to look around and make sure everything is running fine and everything was clean.

 

Well, I got to the forum. We've been getting spam lately and there was some again. In the past it was diet pill spam and stuff like that, but last night there were two threads, both porn. The first one, straight porn, and the second gay.

 

Imagine what shock to the system it was for me to see on my own website on my own server, on a cream and blue website seeing a guy.......in another guy.

 

And yes, I had to see it so I could get the poster's IP address.

 

So, when I got home list night, until almost 5:00am I was going through Charlie Root emails that have been building up and blocking IP address on my firewall.

 

You know what I have noticed? Most hack attempts came from China, South Korea, and Russia. I decided to block any and all Chinese, Russian, and Korean IP address I come across. If they show up from Charlie Root, of course, spam, yep, and even from web stats.

 

To my joy, the majority of IP address yielded B-Class networks in the whois. In many cases, multiple B-Class networks.

 

This is a battle I intend to win. Charlie wants to keep out Charlie.
