RE: xtglobal.vg - funny, photos they use on their home page are stock images used at other server farms.

I think Lucy is much funnier than xtglobal, IMHO. There was another range mentioned here: [webmasterworld.com...]

I've always believed that.

RE: 149.56/16 Looks like a lot of it is allocated to private customers (DSL) at least the upper ranges so be prepared to poke holes :)

Another OVH found today - last modified DNS last December. Used to be Italian infostrada DSL.
164.132.0.0 - 164.132.255.255 164.132.0.0/16
Activity so far: 6 hits, yesterday/today, on 164.132.161.0/24 from AhrefsBot...
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AhrefsBot/5.0; +http:[//]ahrefs.com/robot/) ([] inserted by me)
keyplyr: Random samples on rDNS show (eg) dns10.ovh.ca which is indicative of hosted IPs; plus the DNS lookup shows OrgName: OVH Hosting, Inc. You may be right but for now I for one am blocking the evil (fill in epithet).

@dstles- I think there can be discrepancies between look-up services. Some just don't give the complete picture.
While all of 149.56/16 is OVH, 149.56/28 is a private residential DSL customer of OVH (I had a few hits and they validate as human.) There are lots of these in the upper end of 149.56/16. So while I do block 149.56/16, I allow conditions. Of course you may never see anyone from there :)
Thanks for the 164.132/16

Has anyone seen bad activity coming from? gogrid.com 164.40.128.0 - 164.40.159.255 164.40.128.0/19
(And yes, I realize they have about 20 ranges around the globe)

I've had the range blocked since 2012 so someone probably annoyed me. In whois as NL but with a San Francisco address.
This seemed so improbable that I went and looked it up. In fact it's even improbabler. Starting from 52.96-255 which I'd previously had marked as DuPont (the original owners of the whole /8):
52.96-115 Microsoft 52.96.0.0/12 52.112.0.0/14
52.116-118 SoftLayer 52.116.0.0/15 52.118.0.0/16
52.119 (still) DuPont
52.120-123 Microsoft 52.120.0.0/14
52.124.0-59 mixed 52.124.60-255 DuPont
52.125-127 Microsoft 52.125.0.0/16 52.126.0.0/15
52.128.0-127 various 52.128.128-255 DuPont
52.129.0-37 various smaller entities, some of which may be human 52.129.38-255 DuPont
52.130-144 (still) DuPont
.. and that's where we came in.

Thanks for the extras, Lucy. I've added the MS and Softlayer ones but left the others until they "attack" me. :)
