Hacked DVRs again?! (Probably the wrong forum, but probably of interest nonetheless)

2017-07-11 Thread Large Hadron Collider
So, I run a small chat service and it has attracted abuse from multiple kinds of open device. Most recently, I've found DVRs being spammed through. This is the kind of "default password"/"open Cisco" abuse that is very hard to detect with an open proxy scanner without, well, logging in and see

Considering the wording you use, I would include this, 'Peering' is not always necessary. If you can get an upstream provider to give you a pack of IP's and it is sufficient to just use them as a gateway instead of setting up peering that would be preferred. If you decide you want to have mul
