Advanced Email Extractor

rogue spider with google parser

[starec]

Loooks like they (mis)use Google SERPS to get well-targeted spam lists. Hope Google will cut them off soon.

The referer in my log is
210.19.68.2 ... "http://s0s.mailutilities.com/s/google.php3?s=keyword%20here" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; Advanced Email Extractor v2.24)"

I realize I'm a terrible and sinister person :-(

However
deny from 203.
deny from 210.
deny from 211.
and yesterday I added portions of 202

The ARINC. The down side is that I have some quality visitors from Australia and NZ and have filed in getting my ALLOWS from within a denied range to work :-(

i was asking this question in another post - but here is more app. I got one visiting & gave me 99K hits - contacted that site & he said used a trial version to test. Can i take legal action, though i have no robot txt in place any sort & the law here sucks ?

I dont know.

I dont think robots.txt wards against Denial of Service Attcks..

I'd do the following:

- block by user agent, not by IP (in .htaccess, for apache)
- inform your ISP. (runs as DoS, at least when its 99k hits in a short time).
- if DoSing is punishable in your country, sue them...
