Most recent complaints
Please help us keep Internet safer and cleaner by leaving a descriptive comment about 255.255.255.255 IP address
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 Fever Gaming :
This IP successfully hacked our custom admin panel for our website. It logged in as one of our coders and made quite a few modifications before being banned and one of my friends sent me the security log: [17:09] "alex" logged on to admin panel with IP address 255.255.255.255 [17:09] alex: Changed page "home" (IP: 255.255.255.255) [17:10] alex: Changed page "aboutus_wip" (IP: 255.255.255.255) [17:10] alex: Removed directory "forums_wip" (IP: 255.255.255) [17:10] alex: Removed file "homehtml.html.test" (IP: 255.255.255.255) [17:11] "jaiden" logged on to admin panel with IP address {REDACTED} [17:11] jaiden: Banned IP address 255.255.255.255 (IP: {REDACTED}) [17:11] system: Disconnected "alex" from admin panel: Your IP address has been banned from this website. In fact, I'm not even sure this is a real IP address. Nevertheless, it still hacked the admin panel. Do not trust this IP address.
