Verio’s server still full of spam
Remember we were fuming about 161.58.59.8 a while ago? We were successful in getting the Bulgarians off the server, as far as we know. But the server is still full of spam.
Check the domains on the server:
http://whois.webhosting.info/161.58.59.8
Then ping the domain you want to check further, to make sure the information is accurate today.
Then search for the domain in Google. Check if there’s blogspam or other webspam, then complain to Verio. As before, abuse at verio-hosting dot com is the right address to complain to. One domain I checked, was spamvertized Novembe 22, 2004. Probably before we really organized…
I’ve saved a number of pages from that list. So far I’m not sure one single domain is non-spam related. Netaloid should have a FIELD day with this! If anyone wants the list, just let me know. No sense duplicating the work. If I give up (there are 2021 domains on that server, so I just might), I’ll let you know which page was the last I saved. Eh, got as far as 1450 domains before the site timed out way too much.
Verio has a history with spam, alright. Even whois spam.
I’ve verified one of the domains on that server now. It’s being served, on that site, and it belongs to the Bulgarians. It’s serving one of the affiliate ID’s I’d made a note of earlier. The site is: best-deals-online-gambling dot info. That domain landed in my referrer log December 9, 2004.
That’s a nice tool! Who let the dogs out?
loid
I was looking for such a tool, and found the link in a forum post I’d dug up with Google. Very handy tool. One I’ve been wanting for some time now.
But it’s not foolproof. It bombed on the tigerspice IP. whois.sc was better there. It might depend on the technology used to produce the results. Nothing would stop whois.sc, because they test each website, and the results are probably not live. But if this tool gathers the data dynamically, say with a zone transfer, then it would not get results for all servers.
