Nope as in NAP where all the backbone providers peer at.

This is top level tier backbone stuff.

My wife wants to start a blog. Can anyone recommend some websites that will help her through this process? Thanks in advance for any help...

re: #28 Ward Cleaver

Thats the new NAP they are just getting ready to open up in Va near DC not the Miami one the ip goes back to.

Charles, That is a "Miami" address, I think a Bell South, and that could be anywhere from Miami North to North of West Palm Beach. When I had Bell South I even picked up an Atlanta IP.

re: #33 song_and_dance_man

They're watching you Neo

Follow the white rabbit

There are five Tier-1 network access points in the United States. Only one has been designed and built from the ground up as a carrier-neutral facility offering colocation, managed services and the latest in peering network technology; only one is prepared to serve as the Internet gateway for Latin America; and only one is a premier MiamiNAP Data Center. This is why global carriers, ISPs, other Internet-related businesses, educational institutions, and enterprises have chosen to become customers at the MiamiNAP.

The MiamiNAP is backed by a consortium of over 100 major carriers , ISPs and other telecom companies. It is located in an area of numerous telecommunications carrier facilities, fiber loops, international cable landings and multiple power grids.

The MiamiNAP is the next-generation in carrier-class facility, utilizing the most advanced networking standards in the world. The network architecture of the MiamiNAP boasts at its core, an efficient high-speed parallel cross point switch fabric. This fabric has a capacity of up to 178,000,000 packets per second of throughput. In addition, edge switches provide gigabit speed connectivity to the meshed 128 Gbps core chassis peering fabric.

Without prior knowledge of the technicalities of running a blog that you personally host, I wouldn't recommend it. A really good solution is a hosted blog website, like blogspot.com. They take care of all that backend stuff for you. And it's free.

It's a small side street off Beverly Glen in L. A. Spielberg named a character in the Indiana Jones series after this street.

It is a very sad story. Apparently, even the dead cannot rest in peace in this savage place.

Having a bot coming from a network like that can be like drinking from a fire hose for the receiving website. This company is not your average network and is probably not cheap to get access to servers or hosting. This is not a budget minded hosting service.

Was not the bad guys in Jericho imployed by a company called Ravenwood?

I guess you could say the Internet Cold War has already begun. China sure recognizes this and Charles obviously does since he's evidently a prime target. I'm not sure how much time he spends manning the virtual ramparts of this forum but it seems to be part of his daily chores.

I hope the west is ready to go on the offensive if the internet war goes hot. In war, there's no such thing as self defense. Go on the offensive or stay home.

Let me put it this way, take a professional boxer, put him in the ring with some average guy off the street and tell the pro he can only use defensive moves. No punching. Who'll eventually win? It might take a long time, but since the pro's only in defensive mode, the amateur's got nothing but time. If the armature only gets one in ten hits in, eventually the big guy's going down.

Ravenwood... Ha! Did anyone here watch the short-lived TV series Jericho? Ravenwood was a defense contractor (ala Black Water) that ravaged the remaining cities after the US was sustained a nuclear assault.

(Jericho was a great show, and was probably cancelled (IMO) due to the fact that it showed a illustrated a great reason for gun ownership.)

Ravenwood? The bad guys from the TV Show "Jericho?" Wierd. Anyway....

Network Solutions pulls up the same thing.
The user of this machine has their entire PORT range shut down. They do not want anyone to know anything about it.

Yeah, the ARIN whois was down for me. Glad someone got it to work and was able to pull more information from there. It's too bad that DNSSTUFF.com has gone commercial and is basically useless. Used to be the best site for this kind of thing.

re: #69 zerodamage

Again, TerreNAP is simply the provider; they own the /19. You want to dig into the /29 owned by Ravenwood. See my link above. The /29 has been reassigned, which means TerreNAP has assigned responsibility for this netblock to someone else.

re: #72 blutonazi98

Yeah, I figured that out after my post when I realized I missed some replies. I did not bother to repeat it here. I did do an OS scan on the system though and it returns multiple OS fingerprints (via nmap). The IP looks to be the gateway to a larger network with multiple machines much in the way my work network is configured. It's a possibility that this gateway machine (could be a computer or a network device acting as a firewall) has been compromised by someone who whatever. Hard to say without putting much more research into it. The machine scanning LGF is hiding quite effectively.

i should have stated that all of those entry's show up in Google searches for the actual street address
50 NE 9th St, miami FL 33132
some have address listed on different floors.

re: #32 RedSoxNation

If all she wants is a simple blog, Wordpress is plenty easy. I moved there from blogspot because google is evil.

It's simple (and free) to register. A few clicks later and she's up and running.

Could it have been possible that the person was just mirroring your website and building an index?

When I was on dial up (before lovely DSL arrived 3 months ago), I would routinely visit Public Terminals and also gain access to the Internet from businesses, cafes, and Universities for the purpose of downloading blogs I liked to read. I still have DVDs of info (including LGF) I slurped from the net to read at home, where the pace of dialup was 28k.

I never followed the robots.txt file info.

I still do that on occasion with the Lefty and Jihadi-type websites who I don't want to have my home IP.

If (and when) the Internet War breaks on our shores with any seriousness, you will know it when certain high-profile bloggers start dying. It's what I would do if I were a planner in the jihadi sleeper movement in the west.

Not everything on the internet is sinister, however, I do carry protection in case I am terribly, terribly wrong or luck into being present during an armed robbery.
