rpdesign Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Please for everyone's sake this happened to my site this past week and it might be useful to you. I was checking the who is online tool in admin and noticed a ip address of 216.129.119.43 kept coming up, thinking it was a customer i wanted to know more so i went to this siteand found out who owned this ip address. Turns out it was a site called layer42.net who promotes bandwidth solutions. Yeh right! More like bandwidth stealing >_< If you installed the ip trap add on i highly suggest adding this ip address to the Ip_trapped.txt file in your banned folder. ***note*** this is only if you installed ip trap as suggested in this thread I would suggest installing all contribs except the last one anti xss as this seems to be giving people problems. Always backup your files!

Guest Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Robert, I recently contacted the ISP that you mentioned and spoke to the CEO who stated their bot follows all robot.txt policies and is not a threat to any website. The ISP is planning a launch of a new SE, hence the reason for the crawler. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
