Internet Scum

My god there's some scum on the Internet. While I've been testing my CGI scripts I've been watching my Apache logs live so I can see errors as they happen. The number of people requesting my homepage and getting errors (because I don't have one) is unbelievable. It's not like my website is linked from anywhere... But then worse still some cheeky git tries to exploit a whole bunch of known IIS exploits on my box. This, of course, made one hell of a lot of noise in the logs.

I should say right now that I operate zero tolerance against script kiddies who directly try to hack me.

So out came Nmap. Little success there, they seemed to have a neatly locked down machine. So instead I decided to focus on dealing with a higer entity - their ISP. I found their ISP, got their email address for the people who control that DNS name, the email address of the person at the ISP responsible for DNS problems and also went and found their support email address.

So I copied the relevant parts of my logs into an email and sent it to all 3 addresses, requesting that they "take remedial actions" by which I meant "disconnect the fucking wanker". Heheheh. That'll learn 'em.
