Hi all, I have a few questions about how to report and notify your group of a application abusing websites. On the 28th and 29th I saw an interesting useragent and a Google IP address listed in my banned IP connections due to website abuse. Abuse Report Date: 7/28/2011 1:49:31 PM PSTIP: 64.233.172.1 Net Block: 64.233.160.0 - 64.233.191.255 Application: http://aking-741.appspot.com/ Spam type: Pharmaceutical Link Spam Posted UserAgent: mozilla/4.0 (compatible; msie 6.0; windows nt 5.1; sv1) appengine-google; (+http://code.google.com/appengine; appid: aking-741) This application clearly ran from a Google AppEngine server and* if* the useragent appid can not be modify it would appear this is the offender (aking-741) Q1: Can the appid be modified to show anothers application ID? Q2: Can the AppEngine group create some type of abuse reporting API? Q3: If IP addresses used by the AppEngine are banned by individual website owners will this have any effect on legitimate apps? Q4: Are the IP addresses for the AppEngine used only for the appengine group or are these servers shared with other Google projects? The main reason I'm asking your group is because I'm seeing more of the IP addresses in the block above listed in blacklists online. If the Applications are specific and having the IP banned does not effect valid applications then all is good in the world. If not, AppEngine, we may have a problem. Thanks for your time.
