especially before Shodan was
blocked on AMPR...
Has Shodan been blocked on amprgw or have they been convinced to stop scanning AMPRnet?
There are still various agressive scanners active from internet, and I have some scripts
to automatically add them to a blocklist but it still is an ever increasing load on the
network.
For example, "stretchoid.com" is an agressive scanner that changes addresses all
the time
(but does keep reverse-DNS records on their virtual servers so easy to identify).
They do have an opt-out form but it is a NOP.
(I have completed it 3 times at 1-month intervals but no reply and no effect on the
scanning...
maybe Brian should try it as he is listed in the whois as the owner of NET44)
Of course there are others, like
security.ipip.net and binaryedge.ninja. Plus the many
many other scanners, "researchers", etc.
