I’ve been playing with the idea of getting the nethandles from ARIN to be able to associate the smaller CIDR ranges with the City, State and maybe even the Zip Code for IP addresses and for the most part I’ve done it. I’ve got an automated process that is gathering data for the nethandles and […]

The airport database that I orginally found was incomplete and inaccurate. So I’ve spent he better part of the afternoon trying to find a new one and I did http://www.partow.net/miscellaneous/airportdatabase/ An open source airport code database, mostly complete, I didn’t find the local airstrip down the street, but I don’t always find it when […]

I was wandering and reading on the Internet this morning and I found a reference to a certain ISP that used Three digit airport codes in thier reverse DNS names. This of course made me start to think about other ISPs, that may be doing the same thing. If nothing else this would help get […]

I may have marped on this before, but I am always trying to find new ways to make this community more of a Win-Win situation for everyone. In that theme I implimented a revenue sharing plan for anyone who wants to participate in the WikiWikiWeb, by contibuting to the content. By contibuting content you have […]

I’ve been spending time today working on the IP database and the members section for the Web site. I finalized some of the members stuff at http://members.spiderhunter.com Most notably I have the IP to Country database downloadable to anyone who has an account. You can get it from http://members.spiderhunter.com and then going to the members […]

I just upgrade the MySQL database that runs all of my sites and changed a few options to try to get some more speed and a few new feature, well not new features as much as bugs fixed in a feature I was trying to use. MySQL has a way that you can insert data […]

I spent all day today working on getting some RBL data into the IP database. I am now collecting RBLs on 27,000 IP addresses that I have confirmed have sent me email messages. The funny thing is that when you are looking at the IP addresses alone, more then 60% of the IP addresses that […]

I just added the IP to country database feaure to the IP database at http://ipd.spiderhunter.com It takes the data from all of the IP address registrars and compiles it into one database that has the start IP address, the end IP address and the CIDR number. I had posted a link a few days ago […]

A few days ago I found a MailToaster that looks like will be able to handle nearly everything I want an email server to do: anti-spam, anti-virus, virtual domains and much more. It’s all based on open source software and promises to be a great resource for anyone. I’ll be talking about it more at […]

Every once in a while I see a SOCKS proxy server request in my log files. I don’t have a SOCKS proxy server and no one should ever think that I do. Therefore the only conclusion I can come to is that any traffic on port 1080, which is desiginated for SOCKS is a hacker. […]
