Hey,

I got another last night.

What's odd is that five out of six attacks on my site have come from the RIPE Network. I've reported every one but there seems to be a trend here. I'm beginning to wonder if the problem isn't with the ISP rather than a few of it's users.

Does anyone know anything about RIPE? Are an unusual number of attacks on your site/s coming from this network or that region (western Europe)? Let me admit that I haven't a clue what I'm talking about; it just seems strange to see so many whois come back with such like information in them.

Here's the top of the email I got last night.


Peace!

You are very much correct. It is the ISP's that harbor the criminal elements often times. You will get more and more attacks from the kiddies from brazil in the entire 200. range. I use to blanket block all 200 IP's, obviously throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But, with Sentinelâ„¢ I have enough confidence and only ban the bad boys (er, kids).

Is there a high authority we should report the ISP to?

Is there a time when that is appropriate?

Who regulates the ISPs distribution of IP addresses?


Thanks again Raven.

ICAAN is the "high authority" on IP assignments, but I doubt that they get involved at that level. I just keep reporting them and go on. Maybe someone else has mor information?

This is from the icann.org website.

If I'm having a problem with my registrar, should I report it to ICANN?

If you have a problem with one of the registrars, you should first try to resolve it with that registrar.

If you cannot resolve your complaint with the registrar, you should address it to private-sector agencies involved in addressing customer complaints or governmental consumer-protection agencies. The appropriate agency will vary depending on the jurisdiction of the registrar and the customer.

All registrars with direct access to the .aero, .biz, .com, .coop, .info, .museum, .name, .net, ,.org, and .pro registries are accredited for this purpose by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN does not resolve individual customer complaints. ICANN is a technical-coordination body. Its primary objective is to coordinate the Internet's system of assigned names and numbers to promote stable operation.

Although ICANN's limited technical mission does not include resolving individual customer-service complaints, ICANN does monitor such complaints to discern trends. If you would like to submit a complaint about a registrar for ICANN's records, please use the Registrar Problem Report Form located at the InterNIC website. As a courtesy, ICANN will forward your complaint to the registrar for review and further handling. (Please note that there is no guarantee that the registrar will reply.)

Find registrar contact details in the Accredited Registrar Directory
Submit a registrar complaint through the Registrar Problem Report Form



That doesn't seem all that encouraging. I wonder if there's a BBB in Amsterdam? Rolling Eyes


Thanks again.
