Hi everyone

I keep getting brute force attempts from 82.83.145.73 and I wanted to look up more information on it. Is there a website you would recommend?

thanks.

Your average UNIX box can help you out. Run "whois 82.83.145.73" and you should get the info you need.

That is RIPE networks...European registrar. I have banned the entire IP range from all of my FTP servers and TeamSpeak server. There seems to be allot of trouble from that region.

I was getting repeated brute force attacks on the FTP servers and they kept joining the TS server and causing problems...hate to admit it but they actualy tricked one of my admins into giving them Op's, then proceeded to ban everyone from the channel and delete all of our sub-channels. He has learned his lesson now however
(If someone in your TS server ever asks you to right click their name and hit "E" DO NOT DO IT)

Of course I have no use for ANYONE from Europe connecting to my server as it is just used for game hosting.

You can also try www.geektools.com and do the lookupp from there.

I've used: http://network-tools.com/ before you can try that.

woo thats almost next door for me

http://whois.sc/IPHere

works well

You can also use dnsstuff.com ... was down last week (at least I couldn't get it to load), but seems to be up now

http://centralops.net good site with plenty of tools. I use the domain dossier a lot.

Thats what I use too
I just stick the IP in my browser address bar and click my little whois button

if you want to find out where the location of the ip is you can use this.

hi there,

I find this site helpful when looking up ips.

http://www.dnsreport.com

Try that!

Thanks for the all the replies!

We have a fair amount of trouble from that area of the world also. TS always brings in Aholes. Too bad the newest version of TS only supports 20 bans.
