Digging into the heart of lowendtalk/lowendbox/lowend*

[RiotSecurity]

I was tossed this link by a good friend of mine, please stay on topic and do not de-rail this thread.

It is a post all about lowendtalk and what they run, who is really in-charge of the servers, etc.

This is all true.  

Only points I'll clarify is Joel is supposedly long gone.

CC is like this with not cleaning things up, plus they love IP justifications for their mass hording of IP space.

To point, if you look at the Google tracking codes for LET/LEB you'll find the original Lowendadmin and I think one of the sites is still using the same tracking code.  This isn't to say he's involved, cause he isn't.  It is to point out that CC is totally a pig shit mess about transitioning stuff.

Proxmox is indeed what they have been running.  One IP for LET other IP for LET and one of the others has a locked down MySQL instance that is shared.

PS: Why they are cruising the net from this range is beyond me since they are trying to hide it with Cloudflare.

It would be a shame if someone ran to the direct IPs, around Cloudflare with plenty of packet love.

Yeah, it'd be a shame.... not.

It would be a shame if Google indexed this:

[iP snipped] = lowendtalk.com

Would be a shame if google found the IP for the helpdesk.

[drmike]

A bigger shame if Google found the IP for lowendbox.com

lowendbox.com   =  [iP snipped]

formerly host.colocrossing.com

Now, which is the MYSQL?

Edit: found it.

Maybeeee ?

Why in the world if you were hiding something with Cloudflare, would you leave it at the same real public IP address it was at prior?

Violates common sense...

Since when did Colocrossing ever have common sense?

Why so much advertising for CC/LEB/LET?

 

[kaniini]

Not to be that guy, but I mean, can we get off of these LEB threads now?  Seriously.  Everyone gets that it's owned by ColoCrossing, and obsessing over it is a waste of time that could be spent on basically anything more productive.

Plus, I'm not seeing anything in that blog post besides the /29 that we didn't already know about.

 

[drmike]

Oh be any guy @kaniini.

It is what it is. Correctomundo.  

More info is good though.  I won't discourage anyone from chipping in.

While we may understand the situation, daily viewers and sadly, buyers over there don't realize these things.

 

[KuJoe]

My suggestion is start a blog dedicated to this instead of posting threads here and there. It's more beneficial to everybody. A central location, no backlash against vpsBoard, cleans up the forum, and everybody would be happy.

I'm back from my modest 3-4 hour sleep. I'm going to have to lock this... right now.

Threads like this don't help our image here. While I want to remain light on the censorship I also don't want to encourage anything illegal.
