Peerguardian Ips!

the simplest way is to do domain searches for registered ranges- yesterday i had luck doing wildcard searches on arin (eg- baytsp* ) and was surprised to find a bunch that weren't on the recommended list- there are also sophisticated methods that take more time... the problem right now us ppl think they're detectives or something- they get port scanned by someone and then they get the range which could be huge- an isp or a school and then add it to the database which is plain stupid- ppl are forgetting it's an anti p2p database... automatic port scans happen all the time

Thanks everyone for your help. :-)

How do they get those IP addresses anyway?

Yeah foreal, I wonder where they get them at.....

I didn't think that the search for songs was so extensive... :o

but thanx for the good info for stopping them (and maybe others). now it takes hardly any time to update the datebase! :ph34r:

Well this is a tiny bit off topic, but what do most people think a apporiate agression level for a 56ker is? Right now I have it set on 40 should I go higher or lower? I am scared if I put it onto 100 that my connection won't be able to handle it and downloads will never finsh.

a note from meth of the aggression scale:
meth
15-JUN-2003 14:27:50 aggression settings.. it's more of a backup in case the normal blocking manages to miss a connection. The aggression is cyclic check. At 10%, the TCP table is checked once every 100ms, at 100% the TCP table is checked every 10ms.

it's better to import the ips into your firewall than use pg...
