[users@httpd] Re: Redirect

[Eugene <ht...@infosatgeomatica.com>]

HI! Ok, I tell you the truth. I'm using a connection of one
Internet provider in Latin America. I know that services of the same
provider using a lot of "hackers" here. These guys just
needs fast internet and they are using this net for
share/upload/download etc. BTW the same provider provides access to
brasilian servers with very interesting stuff if you know what I mean.
The deal is that almost all (90% or even
more) attackers comes from my subred. We are subdevided here for
customers of this net, so if I have IP 200.222.xx.xx the guys in my
part of city almost all of them has the IPs starting from 200.222.xx.xx. How
do I know that? Not just by using whois and stuff. Because I know personally the
people who provides me this connection that I'm using now. Anyway
- a lot of idiots here downloads from P2P books like "how to be a real
hacker" and starts their "training". At the end of the day I have my
logs full of s**t from these stupid books with IPs that comes from the
clients connected even from my block in the same building! When a real atacker comes
there is nothing to do - I had this problem at the last week, but this
is other story. Guys who sends the business spam for some money, who is
trying to attack the servers here almost all of them working like
server admins here in the same city maybe at the same block as I am and even for the same
people. Do you know how much people at days works in some office of
some BIG corporation and at night sells their soft and hacks the servers?
A lot of these "hackers". Obviously there is
the reason for all - if in USA, working like admin or programmer, you
have almost 50 U$D/hour or more(I know that from my experience),
here its a big luck to have 250-300U$D per month. Corporations must be very
appreciated for so cheap workers. And they do - by closing their eyes on
some things.
And just for your info - whats illegal in the first world is totally legal in
the most of countries of Latin America. Is this a good enough reason
for you to redirect this s**t to themselves?
