May 19, 2008 – 9:20 pm

Switched over my NAS from the problematic one to the new one that was previously the backup. Hopefully everything goes well with this switch.

Also after getting tired of spam comments in my blog, added the following lines to my httpd.conf file :

deny from 78.129.208.40
deny from 78.129.207.244
deny from 78.129.202.3
deny from 78.129.208.100
These were all added into my httpd.conf, to prevent these hacked computers from spamming my blog. Sure, I could moderate the entries, but after hitting about 10 per day, I’m kinda getting tired of it. And since they are all coming from just three IP addresses, this was a more efficient way to do it … for me anyway. Since I have no entries to moderate today, for the first time in a long time, I’d say it looks optimistic.

  2. My wordpress blog has also been getting a lot more comment spam lately over the past few weeks:

    78.129.199.221
    78.129.208.40
    78.129.207.244
    78.129.202.3
    78.129.208.100

    There’s a distinct pattern, but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

  3. I’ve had to add a few more recently :

    77.92.88.4
    87.118.124.3
    87.118.104.145

    Seems there are quite a few compromised hosts out there.

  4. Adding these today :

    87.118.104.145
    89.149.197.204
    85.31.187.225

    I can only hope this isnt just one or two pc’s that keep changing addresses, or I’ll be at this forever.
