Please help us keep Internet safer and cleaner by leaving a descriptive comment about 5.18.95.55 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 Neil :
Just noticed some weird traffic poppin up on my server logs last night. It looked like someone was scanning ports around 3am and i gotta say thats a bold move. Normally i ignore random pings from unknown addresses but this was different. The header info gave away a few clues that its probably not a legit crawler. Whoever is behind it you either need a new hobby or a better disguise. My firewall didnt even break a sweat but im keeping a close eye on that activity. I swear one more suspicious packet and ill track them down with traceroute and a cup of coffee. No shame in copy pasting their attempts and sharing with the whole dev community. So if youre the curious type you better start playing by the rules or bug off.
