    Ai... I keep getting log entries every few milliseconds from 81.218.152.26, which WHOIS turns up as:


    WHOIS results for 81.218.152.26
    Generated by www.DNSstuff.com

    Location: Israel (high) [City: Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv]

    ARIN says that this IP belongs to RIPE; I'm looking it up there.


    Using 0 day old cached answer (or, you can get fresh results).
    Hiding E-mail address (you can get results with the E-mail address).

    % This is the RIPE Whois query server #1.

    This guy keeps hammering me - how do I stop him? I thought he was refer spam, but there are no referrals on his log entries!

    Add this line to your .htaccess file assuming you have one.

    deny from 81.218.152.26

    There is some way to deny that whole range of IPs I believe it is

    deny from 81.218

    but am not sure.

    If they are determined they may well hit you with another IP in their range so you may have to be watchful.

    Wonder what they were up to.

    I have no idea - maybe they are after the hosting company? (Dreamhost)
