DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
Complaint by RaymondFlera :
Just spotted a wild bunch of attempts on port 22 last night looked like someone was wacking my SSH nonstop. Could be a BRUTE bot or some scrip kiddie testing weak passw0rds while im trying to sleep. Is anyone else seeing that odd traffic pattern showing up in their logs. My syslog is screaming Failed password over and over and over. Kinda fun to watch but also bit nerve wracking at the same time. Im defenitly cranking up firewall rules so this mystery hacker cant stroll right in.
