About This Post
This post is dedicated to all the sites/services that spam this forum. This post shall serve as a warning to all members and site visitors. These scammy/spammy sites should be AVOIDED, and items they sell NOT bought.
Legitimate companies do not need to spam forums, period! 
Most spammers tend to be after little more than your money. These "companies" (shady individuals, often from shithole countries) are far more interested in the credit/debit card details that you'll be providing to them! (Other times, it's merely stupidity and poor choice as a "marketing" method. Those people have no idea how to run a business, so it's still not a good excuse.)
Spammers can pose the following risks/dangers to customers: 
- Steal your money.
- Steal your credit card information.
- Steal your personal information. Example: mailing address, email address.
- Provides illegal or non-working products. Example: software.
- Provides dangerous fakes or knockoffs. Example: malware, dangerous "vitamins".
- Does not support the item as promised
- Resells free software or information.
- Makes promises that are not kept. Keywords to watch for: "unlimited", "money back", "guarantee".
- Offers to sell you things they do not actually own. Example: expiring domain names.
Understand that 99% of these spammers are located in fairly lawless (or semi-lawless) parts of the world: China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Romania, Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc. So don't expect to easily "file a complaint" or some such naive non-sense. Once you give spammers your personal and financial details, consider yourself screwed.

Why Make A List?
The sad truth is that spam only exists because it works. Passively deleting spam, blocking IP ranges, and reporting spam to anti-spam groups like StopForumSpam.com is simply not enough to make it go away. Spam will only stop if it ceases to function as an income stream for those that use it. The best way to do this is by telling potential buyers shop elsewhere!
Many people will, at very least, run a Google search when they are unsure on whether something is a good buy or a legitimate company. And hopefully they will find this post.
When somebody searches Google for queries like...
- _ reviews
- _ sucks
- _ problems
- is _ legitimate
- is _ a scam
- is _ legal
- is _ illegal
- is _ harmful
- _ steals credit card
- _ identity theft
- _ no support
- _ does not answer the phone
- _ does not reply to emails
- _ took my money
- _ stole my money
- _ bad quality
- _ fraud
- _ fakes
... I want this post to be front and center, on page 1! 
Would-be shoppers can either see:
(1) The folly of their ways, or
(2) A warning if they're doing pre-sales research! A similar post about bootleg DVD sellers has saved many people on another site.
Disclaimer
This page is not saying that all businesses, services, vendors, individuals, etc -- as found on the list above -- are in any way stealing anything or otherwise engaging in illegal activities. Rather, this post works to do two things (1) List spammers that have put their unsolicited crap on our sites, and (2) List the potential dangers that come with dealing with unknown persons or organizations online whom commonly choose to solicit themselves via "black hat" marketing techniques.
Spammers who wish to be removed from this list will likely have their request ignored -- after all, you wanted your URL posted here, so wish granted! Removal is at my discretion, and mine alone. Note that we may also include non-automated spammy solicitations sent to us through email, including ridiculous takedown notices or threats.
I only wish I'd have thought of this several years ago. The list would probably be 100's of entries long by now!

And here's some spammer IP addresses, from identifiable servers that have sent us crap via email. It's interesting how some of the same hosts appear to be listed over and over again (OVH, EIG brands, etc). Note that these are only IPs that have gotten around our existing anti-spam policies -- DNSBL, SpamAssassin, Barracuda, etc.
| Spammer IP | Country | City or State | Host / Network | Domain | | 46.105.122.125 | France | | OVH | | | 67.192.77.39 | USA | San Antonio | HostIreland | | | 67.222.54.6 | USA | Utah | Bluehost | | | 64.34.162.237 | USA | San Francisco | Serverbeach | mailinator | | 64.150.160.185 | USA | Phoenix | Ipower | | | 69.89.24.6 | USA | | BlueHost | | | 69.89.22.20 | USA | | BlueHost | | | 67.23.166.231 | USA | Asheville | Leapswitch | | | 74.209.214.9 | Singapore | | Vodahost | | | 78.46.38.85 | Germany | | Hetzner | | | 91.121.154.143 | France | | OVH | | | 94.23.206.71 | France | | OVH | | | 159.25.16.175 | Germany | | | 10minutemail | | 178.63.16.253 | Germany | | Hetzner | | | 184.173.0.151 | USA | Houston | powdevhost.com | | | 188.165.201.91 | France | | OVH | | | 190.194.96.40 | Argentina | | Prima S.A. | | | 208.90.224.226 | USA | | Aeprio Networks | | | 213.171.216.60 | UK | | Fasthosts.co.uk | | | 216.119.133.2 | USA | Houston | A2 Hosting | | | | | | | |
These hosts need to be more aggressive about their anti-spam output.
Fasthosts.co.uk via 213.171.216.60 is a multiple repeat offender throughout 2010-2012, and should be ashamed of itself. I've blacklisted the IP locally. It's even worse than OVH is, and OVH is known as the source for a lot of shady activity, due to their extremely low pricing on servers.

Firewalled:
- 82.99.30.0 - bad bot / Munax spider (Sweden)
- 202.72.242.242 - suspicious vBulletin activity (Mongolia)
None of the traffic appears to be legitimate. Bottlenecks the site for no reason.
Suggested firewalling to all admins.

July has been a busy month for spamming, both on this site and on others. Here most spam is blocked by various anti-spam systems. It takes a dedicated nuisance to get far enough to post something -- an actual person, not a piece of spambot software. Of course, it's deleted within minutes (or within hours if done during off hours), so I don't know why the manual spammers bother. It's quite obvious, by looking around the forum, that there are no junk posts, meaning that spam is deleted when found.
Again, companies that spam forums are usually scams or selling junk. Buyer beware.

Within the past 10 days, I noticed the forum sometimes going a tad slower than normal. Not much -- maybe 0.3s (300ms) -- but enough to get my attention. For whatever reason, spam bots have been attempting to register at a rate that I've never encountered to date. The failures database table went from having about 80,000 entries to about 525,000 entries within 10 days! Tens of thousands of attempts per hour. One IP address racked up 30,000+ plus failed attempts within a mere hour or two.
So today I crawled through the database -- because we log failed signups -- and came up with a list of IP addresses that (1) Had zero legitimate sign-ups, and (2) Had at least 1,000 failed attempts in a single grouping. Virtually every one of the IP addresses comes out of China. The IP range for Chinese domain 126.com (120.33.241.0/24) was completely blocked in the main firewall because it had the most malicious DoS-like behavior. Yes, the activity was coming from 126.com itself -- not users using 126.com.
Forum owners reading this should consider adding these ranges to their own sites, to cut down on the stats noise and traffic abuse.
Spammers-only IP block/ban list:

Note that the 4th octet is not required for the firewall I'm using, and is why the IP is only 3 octets long.

I've used stopforumspam's database with great success, the last 7 days IP list is downloaded automatically every couple of days and I check against that list if they try to load the registration page. If no match is found then the registration proceeds and I directly query the stopforumspam database upon submission. If there is a match the registration appears to go through but the script just exits in reality.
I've been meaning to get around to firewalling the worst offenders at the door but just haven't got to it yet.

Hmmm.... so a double-check against the SFS data?
- A would-be registrar first hits a locally cached weekly IP database, that determines if he can even get to the registration page?
- And then the remote SFS database serves as the second line of defense?
Please... tell me more. 
We already do the second one. What I'm curious about is the local caching.
Also: After a person passes the SFS, then he/she must proceed to answer a human verification question that trips most spam bots.
So that serves as a 3rd line of defense, currently our 2nd.
The biggest problem with the built-in vBulletin "user banning" (application firewall) is that it bans not just registrations, but ability to view threads and posts. You have to leverage .htaccess or web.config webserver firewalling against the register.php file, to only block sign-up and not viewing. For convenience, our most recent blocks were in the vB firewall, but I'll be migrating it only hit against the register.php in the near future.
I don't really care all that much about the IPs entered most recently -- all are from China, and this site neither targets nor benefits from Chinese traffic anyway. But I will look at banning Pakistan, Russia, and some other countries in the future; however, I don't want to ban their ability to read, just the ability to register and post crap. We can manually register the infrequent legitimate user manually, by way of an alternate manual sign-up form that is moderated. It would be helpful to know more about your SFS pre-blocks here, too, because that could be leveraged against access to the moderated sign-up forms.

The downloads are here: http://www.stopforumspam.com/downloads/
Just set up a cron job to download whatever fits your needs, from there you can do whatever and I know nothing about VB so couldn't even begin to tell you. When they load the registration page I'm just checking their IP against the list from SFS. One of the reasons I've done this is because SFS has gone offline at least twice since I've been using them, if their server is down at least I have some protection.
Another thing I have considered doing is just using the 24 hour list list for 24 hour bans but that is more resources checking all those IP's.
I don't want some giant bloated IP ban list whether it's the firewall, htaccess or through the script. That's a lot of resources and as long as you're keeping on top of the most active ones that is what is important.

I'd like to see the code on that. Is it PHP?
This is what now runs inside the registration page itself:
PHP Code:
// array of banned IP addresses
$banIP = array(
"^27.159.*.*",
"^222.186.*.*"
);
if(in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],$banIP)) {
// this is for exact matches of IP address in array
header("Location: http://www.digitalfaq.com/banned.htm");
exit();
} else {
// this is for wild card matches
foreach($banIP as $theip) {
if(eregi($theip,$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
header("Location: http://www.digitalfaq.com/banned.htm");
exit();
}
}
}
... but it would be nice to be able to set up an automated include from the 7-day SFS list. If you don't mind sharing your code, I could probably use it as inspiration to write my own vBulletin plugin. Either that, or to expand the register.php page block list.
The way the above code works now, it throws banned IPs off the page, and redirects to a banned.htm page. 
Can't fill out a form if you can't even load it. 
For whatever reason, standard .htaccess IP allow/deny simply did not work as desired. There's something funky about the way the page is seen by the server, so embedding the block list into the page itself was the obvious workaround.

It's cut down on log clutter quite a bit -- the 10's of thousands of repeated failed attempts are now gone.
Beyond log clutter, all of those failed attempts are still a bandwidth clogger and overall abuser of resources, when allowed to try/fail registration.
Bots are bad: 
Virtually all of those IPs are for China and cheap USA-based VPS/VPN services (used as proxy from China).

We've released our spam block list. 
We've put a lot of work into it, hundreds of hours minimum, so I hope it helps other forum owners.
Find it here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/web-...orum-spam.html
Now go block some junk!

sorry I missed this, it's nothing spectacular. I have a cron job that executes separate script that downloads and extracts the list to a directory every 12 hours. In the registration script is this:
PHP Code:
$spammerips = file_get_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/your/path/to/listed_ip_30.txt');
if ($spammerips !== false)
{
$spammerips = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $spammerips);
$spammerips = explode("\n", $spammerips);
foreach ($spammerips as $line)
{
if ($user->ip == $line)
{
$message = $user->lang['ACCOUNT_SPAMMER'];
$message = $message . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($user->lang['RETURN_INDEX'], '<a href="' . append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx") . '">', '</a>');
trigger_error($message);
}
}
unset($spammerips);
}
That of course is specific to phpBB, you'd have something like this for other application:
PHP Code:
$spammerips = file_get_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/your/path/to/listed_ip_30.txt');
if ($spammerips !== false)
{
$spammerips = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $spammerips);
$spammerips = explode("\n", $spammerips);
foreach ($spammerips as $line)
{
//Set use your local variable for the user IP here
if ($useripvariable == $line)
{
// Do something for Spammer IP
}
}
unset($spammerips);
}
I don't think that is something you'll want to execute every page load, the 30 day list for example is about 3MB and has about 25K IP's so you're creating an array with 25K entries. Where I have the code it only executes after they submit registration.
