ohh, dont remember me on this... there are people they believe so much in their current virus scanners that they even ignore major signs like beeing unable to open the task manager and register editor and advances from people having the same sympthoms and just used another scanner to kill it...demond wrote:they are spawned by trojans/viruses from infected windows boxes
Before this trend doesn't stop you will not be able to stop these proxys really effienctly, but known server are usually worth, so if you can ban him 10-20 servers, they might give up, because he runs out of alternitives (but if you really piseed someone off he might trade for more servers from more diffrent ISPs or run a proxy probe scanner over a large IP range of his own ^^).
If I look in my apache logs I see many proxy probs everyday, if I would have such a proxy, I would be found everyday again...
If they have a common way to spam you might find a trick to identify them within 1-2 lines and ban them before more happens. At this point I really love the flood control of the advanced ChanServ which effiently kicks all spammers without the latency every eggdrop has ^^.
