very, very nice. just what i was looking 4… there is a little problem thou -
Not Found : TR_range.txt i live very close to them, and i hate them …
The TR_range.txt has been added.
your Russian list, line 2620 and 2808 have an incorrect net/mask:
193.194.153.0/23 should be 193.194.152.0/23 and
194.149.65.0/23 should be 194.149.64.0/23 (replace previous line with /23 mask)
The IP Ranges you describe are both listed correctly within the Russian network lists.
Ripe has them assigned as follows:
ripencc|FR|ipv4|193.194.152.0|256|19990603|assigned
193.194.152.0/24 is assigned to France as of 6/3/1999
ripencc|RU|ipv4|193.194.153.0|512|19990604|assigned
193.194.153.0/23 is assigned to Russia as of 6/4/1999
ripencc|RU|ipv4|194.149.64.0|256|19990223|assigned
194.149.64.0/24 is assigned to Russia as of 2/23/1999
ripencc|RU|ipv4|194.149.65.0|512|19990223|assigned
194.149.65.0/23 is assigned to Russia as of 2/23/1999
just what I need it, thank you very much!!!
We Indians are not spamming. Anyway thanks for put the ip range of my country India.
Thank you soooooooooo much for this! I get spammed from India daily then they call me everyday. They also spam my customer intake forms wanting me to outsource to them. Now with this ip range I can now have peace of mind knowing that they will have to be in the US if they want to spam me. Thanks again for the great work!
That’s like saying Indians don’t shake their heads side to side when they talk. LOL
BTW, thank you so much for putting together these IP ranges.
Sorry Bapi but 99% of forum spam coming through our site is from Indian and Pakistani “SEO” companies.
Now I have the tools to block the muppets. Thanks very much.
Thank you for this tool. I’m Indian, and I want to block most of the Indian and Paki ip ranges. Trust me, I know BSNL (an Indian ISP) subnets are a source of a lot of spam.
@Mark, you remark was offtrack and unnecessary, and a crass generalization. I don’t shake my head side to side when I talk and neither does any of my co-workers.
@Bapi, maybe you are not spamming but 80% of the spam I get is from the Indian sub-continent which includes India and Paki. You should talk to BSNL and complain to the Dept of Telecommunications director Sam Pitroda, he never replies to my emails.
I am using “.htaccess deny” to block all of africa and Asia, but still they are visiting my site.
Is the list not updated or am I missing something here?
One such example is visitor from Senegal: 80.87.92.48
The Country IP Database is updated at least daily. The IP address you provided, 80.87.92.48, is located in Ghana and is found in the 80.87.64.0/19 network and is part of the African Continent files. You should recheck your .htaccess syntax and configuration to be certain your format is correct and that your server credentials provide you the opportunity to use the system configuration files.
Thank you so much for this site and this information. I use it all of the time to block these terrible spammers. Really awesome of you.
Yes, I have noticed a ton of spam traffic from Korea. You would think that they would have a little more respect for the US since we protect their ass from N Korea. I guess they are just trying to make a buck just like all of them are.
very useful website…
Problem with a CIDR dotted quad conversion on the cheat sheet. CIDR /20 is missing a trinary.
Should read /20 = 255.255.240.0 4096
Thanks again
Good eye. Thanks.
This is awesome thank you so much
Just what I needed!
