    Porn Spammer hit my forum

    Hey guys,

    Logged on my board this morning and saw that a member had signed up and replied to nearly every thread with a spam message advertising ameteur porn. I banned him, recorded his IP and pruned all of his posts.

    Now, all I have is his IP. It didn't resolve to his ISP. How do I go about finding the ISP for which an IP belongs? Any help is appreciated as I would like to report this guy.

    Thanks.

    Network Tools to check your Internet properties or your competition's domains.


    Enter the IP in the text box at the top. Hit enter...give it about a minute to load full diagnostics...

        getting it too, I have banned the whole block and suspect its a bot doing it..he keeps trying to post as a guest. A person would see the ip banned message and give up. But this thing is going at me hard.Its been happening on my forum for 10 hours now at least.

          use .htaccess to ban the person or bot

            My forums got hit as well.

            It's banned now, and all its posts have been pruned.

                      Damn. Thanks nuno.

                      Thanks to the rest of you for helping also. I guess the ban will just have to do. I've also added the other IP's that you guys have mentioned.

                        One thing I just noticed is that when they did register, in my custom user fields they put a '1' in there. Just FYI...

                        I had 3 of them. One posted once, another not at all, and one posted in damn near every thread.
