Anybody any idea what this c-class relates to??

It claims to be XP running explorer 6, but it seems to blast through my blogs fairly regularly pulling off all the recent pages.

Not listed as a bot as far as I can find out.

That is very close to most of Google's bot IPs.

I believe it is google bots not playing by the rules in order to try to catch cloaked site. (i.e. pretending they are humans.) I would recommend cloaking them if you are running pages that would require that for bots.

The IP range is assigned to Attributor Corporation :

OrgID: ATTRI
Address: 1779 Woodside Road, Suite 200,
Address: ATTN Adrian McDermott
City: REDWOOD CITY
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94061
Country: US

Website: hxxp://www.attributor.com/

A quick read through their site shows that they have people sign up to them so the site can monitor their content and see where else the same content pops up across the Internet. It does this by scanning sites and blogs (as you have experienced).

I stand corrected. So perhaps show it random crap so they don't know if you're scraping any content...

Sounds like a plan - if you detect their IP address hit your site redirect it off to some nasty porn site - that would make their scanning database look interesting to look at

Good find. From looking through their site, they help IP owners keep track of their stuff; serve DMCA takedown notices, content licensing, etc.

Think I'll serve them the unique content then.

Hey all, I am getting a ton of hits from these guys too. Can someone tell me how to redirect this IP? Do I need to do something in my .htaccess file? Also I am using WP so if there is some plugin I can grab there, let me know.

htaccess might work with the following:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} 64.41.145 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.destinationwebsite.com/ [R=301,L]

Haven't tested it but hopefully thats somewhere in the right direction!

EDIT:~ Bloody forum takes out backslashes.
On the IP address part you need a backslash before each .

I tried looking it up online and they gave me a format more like this, this is also missing the backslashes before the periods[.], but can you tell me if this looks right, and also, where should i send these suckers?

And then have to explain to the FBI why you have been bouncing people to their site :P

I'm just either sending them to a 404 or a random website

Code:

Don't be using such long ass htaccess rules.

Use IP Ranges in your PHP files ... get the ranges here:

hxxp://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=Attributor

I didn't bother reading over the topic, but on my old website I used to get hit by this host a lot. At the time it was a company called Savvis that spiders the web looking for duplicate content (For paying customers, obviously). It disobeys robots.txt, and eats bandwidth for breakfast, lunch, and as snacks. I've been getting it on a few of my new websites too, and I'm pretty sure it's still Savvis.
