ServerHub has seen some suspicion in the last few months about possible connections with ColoCrossing, but I at least have had an OK experience with them. I picked up a big OpenVZ VPS with them in August of 2013, from a LEB ad of theirs. See this invoice for proof and plan details. Yeah...

Iniz, formerly StormVZ, is another great company with whom I've had the good fortune of running several servers. I'd like to review my yearly KVM in NYC with them, which I've had since February. At $20/year, it's hard to find a better deal in NYC, one of the less populous markets in the LEB...

Crissic Solutions, run by Skylar, is another of my favorite providers, winning my business with competitive prices, top-notch support, and reliability. In this post I'm reviewing another of my DNS VPSes, although this one is my master DNS server that also serves as the development platform for...

In the low-end VPS realm, BuyVM is a "classic". I've been with them for a while now, starting in their Las Vegas location and now in their New Jersey location. I've always liked BuyVM for their "touch of insanity" (and of course pony), but one thing that truly makes them exceptional is their...

While testing it I probably made one or two dozen requests without getting banned. Now that's it's up and working and providing data for whosspamming.us, I only re-run it once a day (though if I'm notified that is out of date, I can get in and run it in 5 minutes). I'd be surprised if I got...

Just FYI, the larger HP Chromebook 14-q070nr is on sale on Newegg today only for ~$50 off.

Now this, I can use.

6MB RAM? Ouch! Seriously, though, if @MannDude doesn't want/need both of those GT610s, I'd love to get my hands on one. Happy to pay shipping, let me know.

But I need a list that includes ASNs! That's just a list of IP blocks - I don't see any correlation to ASes. In fact, if I take the example you linked and plug it in to bgp.he.net, it says no results.

I don't understand - what are those lists saying? I did a search in the ARIN one for 36352 and didn't come up with anything useful.

First I've used public route servers. Googled around but didn't find anything that works - what would be the command to list an ASN's IP prefixes?

And the final result: http://whosspamming.us/ A single page that can be shown to anyone outlining why ColoCrossing is so evil, the significance of B2 Net getting in bed with them, the numbers of total and dirty IPs of each, links to Spamhaus records, and links to lists of IP blocks for easy...

Ah well, we'll see. If I cared enough, I could set this up on several servers, each one fetching at a different interval (plus or minus a few minutes, randomly), pulling from a pool of user agent strings to spoof with. That would probably work. I'm just surprised no one provides an API to access...

to show how that's possible.

If you just want to output prefixes straight to terminal, change the last part (starting from foreach) to this: foreach ($prefixHTML as $prefix) { $prefixDesc = explode("<td>", $prefix)[1]; //Get description first $prefixDesc = trim(explode("<div", $prefixDesc)[0])...

@Kris I see you already noticed, but

Since bgp.he.net has no posted terms of service disallowing it, I wrote a script that, given an ASN, scrapes the site to find number of IPs and list of prefixes with descriptions. <?php $asn = trim(ltrim($argv[1], "AS")); if (!is_numeric($asn)) exit("Invalid ASN!\n"); $curl = curl_init()...

You know what, never mind that. bgp.he.net has no posted terms of service, and I'm sure the block is to avoid getting hit super hard. Once every two hours (which is how frequently I scrape Spamhaus) is hardly going to bring the site down, so I'm going to see if I can work around it by changing...

Yeah, Spamhaus unofficially recommends a "full blockade", but the SBLs are still just coming in one by one.

Ah, well, then our purposes don't fully coincide here. I'm just listing from Spamhaus. Of course, even if I wanted to do the full AS I couldn't - bgp.he.net doesn't allow scraping. Try wget http://bgp.he.net/AS36352 and you'll see. Yeah, I could scrape it by changing the user agent, but if HE...
